HOUSTON – Officials and residents in The Heights say a police SUV crashed through a fence and dangled over a sun ledge inside a pool at a home.

HPD says the crash happened Sunday evening at approximately 5:35 p.m. as the officer sped up to pull a driver over.

The incident played out at the corner of White Oak and Cortland.

The area is a popular stretch for traffic, not only for vehicles, but also for residents who walk the sidewalks regularly.

While nobody was walking in front of the home at the time of the incident, it is what was happening beside the home that was a different story.
