Authorities in Boca Raton said a driver was rescued after veering into a waterway early Friday.
A dive team, police on the ground and on boats responded to the incident at Silver Palm Park at 600 E. Palmetto Park Road.
Video from the scene showed a boat tugging the vehicle through the water from its back bumper.
It’s unclear why the car veered into the water. Witness Mario Fernandez said he saw the front of the car in the canal, but wasn’t sure why.
He asked other witnesses if there was someone inside, and they said there was.
“They had already called police… I said ‘yes, there’s one person inside that I saw,'” he said. “I hope that person is OK.”
Boca Raton Police did not immediately give more information about the driver’s condition.
Fernandez said he saw an officer remove their uniform and jump in before divers got to the scene.
