Heroic moment when officers rescued an unconscious woman trapped in her car after she passed out at the wheel and drove straight into a swimming pool
This is the moment heroic police rescued a woman who had fallen unconscious behind the wheel and crashed into a swimming pool.
Bodycam footage from Cobb County Police shows the daring rescue that took place in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Police had to break the car window to get into the vehicle before the unnamed woman was dragged from the water.
She had crashed her car into a swimming pool cover, the weight of the vehicle slowly pushing the cover down as cold water seeped in.
The video shows a police officer slipping on the cover before leading the woman to safety, where she was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital.

Police have not shared any further information about the woman in question. It is not known if she is a resident of Heritage Park Town Homes or how her car ended up in the pool
The woman was treated at the scene as people nearby rushed to get blankets and towels to warm her before she was taken to hospital.
Upon arrival at Heritage Park Townhomes on February 22, police were met by residents, including a man who reported that “she was raising her head occasionally” but was otherwise unresponsive.
After the officer whose bodycam footage was shared knocked on the window, it was clear she was still unconscious and had to be extricated from her naval lounge.
Once she was lifted to the edge of the pool, she became unresponsive as people gathered towels and blankets to warm her.
Cobb County police have not shared any further information about the woman in question.
It is not known how the car ended up in the pool and ultimately aimed at the pagoda, but the pool area is located in the heart of the gated community – some distance from the main road, which is open to the public.
Whether the woman is a resident and how long she had been unconscious before the incident is also unknown.
