COMMACK, New York - A homeowner came to the rescue for a 79-year-old man Monday, after the man accidentally drove right into the homeowner’s in-ground swimming pool on Long Island.
Joseph DiDonato was driving a 2010 Acura sport-utility vehicle through the parking lot of Mayfair Foot Care, at 19 Harned Rd. in Commack, around 3:45 p.m., Suffolk County police said.
He apparently hit the gas pedal instead of the brake, and the vehicle broke through the backyard fence of a nearby house, police said.
Jon Bacchi, 32 was in the backyard at the time of the crash, police said. He jumped into the pool, smashed the driver’s side window, and pulled DiDonato out to safety, police said. More
