Fire officers in the South Island town of Arrowtown are shaking their heads in disbelief following a call out involving a truck and a swimming pool.
A 20-year-old woman lost control on the streets of Arrowtown at around 3am, plowing her vehicle through the fence of a residential property.
The bizarre crash saw the four-wheel drive pirouette 180 degrees, destroy a garden shed and a concrete barbeque, then finish with a perfect landing in a frozen swimming pool.
Arrowtown Fire officer Garry Hall says the woman was lucky to survive after nearly being impaled by a piece of timber through her windshield.
