Driver rescued after SUV found submerged in ocean waters in Orange County
Fire crews rescued a driver whose vehicle was found submerged in ocean waters in Orange County on Saturday.
Newport Beach Fire responded to reports of an SUV spotted in the water near the shoreline at Corona del Mar State Beach at around 5:30 a.m.
Crews headed into the water and were able to rescue the driver. That person was transported to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment.
The vehicle, a black Jeep Wrangler, was also fully submerged in the waters. Crews worked against “challenging conditions caused by waves rolling the vehicle in the surf.”
Photos of the rescue operation showed a large tractor and several other vehicles from Public Works personnel who worked to extract the SUV and later took it away.
