SINGAPORE: A private hire driver ferrying an elderly passenger failed to follow the instructions of two security officers and drove his car into a swimming pool at The Hillside condominium.

There were no pool users at the time, and the 79-year-old female passenger managed to alight via a rear passenger door unhurt when the front tyres of the car entered the water at the Upper Bukit Timah Road property.
