A 2006 Hummer found its way into the Mt. Carmel Municipal Pool Sunday night, and the driver's been charged by police with DUI in the single-vehicle crash off of Park Road.

Employees were cleaning debris from the pool's floor this morning, a fence is broken and a slide is now missing from the facility, having apparently been damaged in the incident, which occurred around 10:50 p.m. Sunday night.

The pool is scheduled to open for regular hours today.

Mt. Carmel Police have charged Angela R. Lockard, 37, of Mt. Carmel with DUI and Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident, after she allegedly lost control of the 2006 Hummer she was driving, eventually rolling it into the city pool.

Police report a witness told authorities Lockard was allegedly "driving in circles" in the 300 block of Park Road. Lockard then allegedly accelerated northbound in the 400 block of Park Road, where she apparently lost control of the vehicle, left the roadway sideways and skidded into the six-foot fence around the swimming pool.

Police said the Hummer hit the fence, and began to roll over several times until coming to rest in the pool on its passenger side.

The whole scene was a surprise for Park Road area residents, who were drawn to the red- and blue flashing lights coming from emergency vehicles responding to the city pool.

Mt. Carmel resident Kim Dyches, who was having some friends over Sunday night, caught sight of the incident when she noticed the lights coming through the windows off of her deck along Park Road.

"That scene was totally unreal," she told the Register today, sharing photos she snapped of crews working to pull the vehicle in the water.

She said people were actually in the pool, and others were using a wench to help roll the Hummer back onto its wheels, in order to get it out of the pool.

Pool Manager Bill Hudson said the now-missing sliding board was pushed into the 11-foot section of the waters after the vehicle skidded through the fence.

"The ladder was underneath the vehicle," Hudson said. "The fence was underneath there too." At the same time, Hudson said the pool itself, the concrete, appears to be unscathed.

The pool manager said several vehicles have been driving by the city pool this morning, citizens wanting to catch a peek of the damage. He's also heard a number of questions, citizens wondering what happened at the city pool last night.

Dyches told the Register she was just grateful no one was hurt, and that the incident didn't occur during one of the city pool's regular night swims.

"Thank God that didn't happen at an earlier hour," she said.

No injuries were reported in the incident.

Sunday night's accident comes one day after Mt. Carmel Police received report of an attempted break-in at the city-run facility.

Police are investigating an attempted burglary that occurred Saturday night. Police say one set of doors on the facility's balcony had been pushed on, and a north side window was broken.

Entry, however, was not gained.
