An elderly driver remained calm and composed after crashing his car into a lake, even continuing to smoke his pipe as he waited for emergency services to arrive at the scene.

The incident happened on Oakham Farm Pools in Loxley, Warwickshire on Tuesday afternoon shortly before 3pm. The octogenarian had gone to the lake to fish, but accidentally drove his Ford Focus into the shallow water.
