Maybe this Prado suffered from one of the three famous braking (I meant unintended acceleration) recalls of 2009 -2011....

A GROUP of children swimming in a pool have had a lucky escape after a Toyota Prado driven by a Spanish tourist joined them in the pool for a dip.

Duty Superintendent Bob Harrison said the two Spanish tourists got in the 4WD at the Kings Canyon Resort, when the driver mixed up the accelerator and the brake.

"The car went through the carpark, a wooden playground, a pool fence, some barbeques before ending up in the pool," he said.

"It’s now at the bottom of the pool. There were three kids in the pool at the time, but they were uninjured."

Spt Harrison said the tourists spoke very little English, and police would attempt to speak to them again this morning.
