NORTHBROOK — A 92-year-old Northbrook woman accidently drove her car into a pool filled with just three feet of water Saturday afternoon.

The woman, who wasn’t hurt, drove over a curb and through a fence in the 1200 block of Rudolph Drive, according to Northbrook Fire Department District Chief Daniel Quinn. Two Northbrook police officers jumped in the pool and helped get the woman out of her car, Quinn said.

The car — which remained upright in the pool — was removed by the fire department.
