MUSKEGON TOWNSHIP, Mich. —  Two people allegedly fleeing from police in Muskegon Township on Wednesday night made a big splash.

Their vehicle ended up in a backyard swimming pool. MLive reports two people were taken into custody moments after the chase ended in the 1600 block of Francis Avenue. That’s near Shonat Street.

It began around 8:25 p.m. on Harvey Street, south of Apple Avenue. 

There was no immediate indication what prompted the chase, and there was no word whether anyone was injured.

Viewer Frank Smith, who lives down the road from the house where the car plunged into the pool, sent FOX 17 some photos from the scene. He said the scene appeared to have cleared by 11 p.m., after some “heavy equipment” was brought in, apparently to extract the vehicle floating in the pool.
