A TERRIFYING MOMENT — Heart-stopping footage of the moment a car crashed through a fence into a backyard where children were swimming has gone viral.
The incident happened Sept. 13, 2026, in Fort Worth, Texas. Footage from a home security camera shows two children swimming on one end of the pool. A two-year-old child is seen running around the outside of the pool on the concrete seconds before a car destroys a wooden fence where the child had been.
Screams can be heard as two adults rush over to the pool.
“Out of the pool! Out of the pool!” the man yells to the children.
The woman picks up the toddler who was standing on the concrete, then quickly helps get the other two children out of the pool area.
“It’s OK, guys. It’s fine. It’s OK. … Everybody’s OK,” the man reassures the children as they leave the pool.
Authorities said none of the children were injured.
Police said two people were inside the vehicle during the crash, and the passenger was taken to the hospital. The driver of the vehicle was cited for reckless driving, according to police.
“Our 2-year-old was in our backyard, just inches away from where a vehicle came crashing through our fence. Our 5-year-old twins were also in the pool. A 22-year-old driver was speeding and driving recklessly through our neighborhood, ultimately losing control and crashing into our backyard,” the Van Dusen family said in a statement.
They continued, “Our child could have been killed. Our twins could have been injured or killed. In a matter of seconds, our home and our backyard — places where our children should be completely safe — became a scene where we were forced to face the possibility of losing one of our children.”
Officials said the incident remains under investigation.
