Vehicle ends up in a swimming pool in Paphos

On August 3, 2026, an unusual traffic incident occurred in Paphos, Cyprus, when a private vehicle ended up inside the swimming pool of an apartment complex. Residents in the area captured images of the vehicle submerged in the water, which were later shared on social media platforms.

According to reports from Sigma Live, the incident was likely caused by the owner failing to engage the parking brake, which allowed the car to roll into the pool. In contrast, OmegaLive reports that the exact circumstances remain unclear, noting that the investigation into how the car ended up in the pool is ongoing. No injuries were reported, and the owner successfully arranged for a crane to extract the vehicle from the water.

The operation to remove the car was completed successfully using lifting equipment. No further official investigation or legal actions have been announced by local authorities, and the scene has been cleared.
