This can't be good. A car ended up in a small pond in New York. But how did it get there?

An elderly man became disoriented while backing out of his driveway in the town of Smithtown on Long Island. Security video showed him running into a utility pole. He then accelerated at a high rate of speed, hit a curb and his car went airborne.

The vehicle ended up in a gully, coming to rest in about two feet of water. Luckily, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation says there were no liquids that discharged into the water.

"There was no threat to public health or the environment."

The elderly man behind the wheel of the vehicle was taken to the hospital for observation.
