Shocking surveillance footage caught the moment a car crashed through the backyard of a Nevada home, flying into the roof of a pool house as the allegedly impaired driver was ejected and landed in a nearby swimming pool.

The footage from Cletis Reed's Laughlin home showed the white Chevrolet busting through a block wall at an almost 90-degree angle just before 11pm on December 15.

It could then be seen flipping several times in the air, before it hits the roof of the pool house. Meanwhile, a major splash could be seen coming from the pool.

In the end, the wrecked vehicle is seen coming to a stop atop debris with its roof torn open while a figure could be seen floating in the pool.

Authorities now say the unidentified driver was speeding down the road and 'failed to stop' before she collided into the block wall, Fox 5 Vegas reports.  

The driver was then found in the shallow end, which Reed said is only about waist-deep. 

He said both he and the driver are now lucky to be alive.

'She was blessed and I was blessed,' Reed said, describing how he was just about to get into his hot tub - located right next to the wall that was destroyed - when the car came crashing in.

The collision left the patio to the home completely destroyed, with a hole in the block wall separating the backyard from the street, and the driver's vehicle lying atop debris

'I popped the cover on and I was like, you know, I gotta tell my wife something,' he recounted. 'And by the grace of God I'm here and the patio goes "bam."

'I would have been dead,' Reed said. 'It would have killed me.'

But because of his last-minute decision to speak to his wife, Reed said he was inside when he heard the crash, which he said 'sounded like a freight train.'

'I figured something happened in the street and I came out to see my entire backyard destroyed,' he lamented. 

'I mean, everything was just blown up. The patio is on the ground, the lady is floating in my pool.'

Despite his anger at what had happened, Reed then pulled the woman from his pool, as others could be seen in his security footage peering through the gaping hole in the wall of his backyard.

The woman was conscious at the time, Reed said.

'She kept floating face up, she flipped over face down, she snuck under water. She was conscious, but she was moaning and groaning.

'We get her out, God's witness, she stands up 15 minutes later getting interviewed by the police,' he added.
