- Damon Fabri posted the footage the viral footage to TikTok with a positive goal
A car has ended up in a family's backyard swimming pool after an incredible driving mishap.
Damon Fabri, 21, captured footage of the Kia hatchback after it plunged into the water at his home in Cannon Hill, Brisbane.
The viral TikTok video shows a tow truck driver attempting to pull the car out of the pool, as a vacuum cleaner floated nearby.
He captioned the clip: 'I think this is the last time mum lets me drive the car.'
But Damon told Daily Mail Australia there was far more to the story.
'It isn't my car. It was a Spanish lady who is our cleaner, who managed to do the impossible, and luckily she is fine,' he said.
'I woke up to a massive crash and a splash and I cried with laughter.'
He explained the cleaner had tried to reverse out of a car park next to his home, but instead hit the accelerator.
She panicked and put her foot to the floor, slamming through the fence and into the pool.

Damon said he hopes the video will raise enough money to pay for the damages to the cleaner's car.
'My intention is to start a little series and use the audience to try and raise money to help pay for the damage,' he said.
'So far I haven't been paid a cent towards helping her, but in the series I am going to start a GoFundMe page to try and pay for her car.'
The family fence was flattened and pavers were damaged, as well as the submerged car

'They literally used the tow truck to yank it out,' he said.
'The fence it is still damaged - vacuum still floating in the pool.'

Damon intends to start his series in the near future, using the line 'Does anyone remember this car?'

Another user commented: 'This isn't what they meant by carpool.'
