THOUSAND OAKS, California -- An SUV crashed through a backyard wall and into the hot tub of a home in California following a multi-vehicle collision.

Chopper video shows the vehicle perched on top of a hot tub adjacent to a swimming pool. The vehicle apparently smashed through a wall surrounding the yard and came to a rest on top of the hot tub.

Sheriff's officials said the 70-year-old male driver accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. He suffered minor injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital as a precaution.

Firefighters reported having to help two people who had been in the vehicle to pull them out of the pool.
