This Uber rider did not request a pool.

A 66-year-old driver for the ride-hailing app veered off the road in Nassau County on Wednesday morning and ended up submerged in an inground pool, cops said.

Nassau County Police said the driver lost control of the Nissan SUV just before 9:45 a.m. on a bend on Port Washington Boulevard in Port Washington, drove into a wooded area, through a fence and into the pool on Sunnyvale Road.

The driver and the male rider were both taken to an area hospital for minor injuries.

No tickets or summonses have been issued as of Wednesday evening.

Neighbor Jim Staubitser said, “She was still shaking… Thank god, the two people in the car were OK.”
