When officers arrived, they found a car had collided with a fence. <\/p>\n<p>The family who lived in the home told CBS News Texas that their three children were playing in the pool when the crash happened, and the car almost hit their 2-year-old child.<\/p>\n<p>The family&#8217;s surveillance video captured the moment, showing their 2-year-old walking away just seconds before debris flew in the toddler&#8217;s direction. The parents rushed to gather their children, and all three were okay. Then, the father went to check on the driver. <\/p>\n<p>FWPD said there were two people inside the vehicle that crashed, the driver and one passenger. The passenger was transported to the hospital in an unknown condition. <\/p>\n<p>Police said the driver &#8220;was cited,&#8221; but didn&#8217;t release details concerning any charges. <\/p>\n<p>This is a developing story, and we&#8217;ll update as more information becomes available.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/bo-evans\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bo  Evans<\/a><\/p>\n<p>        contributed to this report.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n          More from CBS News\n        <\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A car crashed through a fence into a Fort Worth backyard Sunday evening, narrowly missing a toddler and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":435796,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1738,116,118,117,2238],"class_list":["post-435795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-car-crash","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-fort-worth-police-department"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
