Community News: Woman drove car into Niagara River


It’s unclear how the car got into the Niagara River. Witnesses reported seeing it floating near a pedestrian bridge, where it was believed to have gone in. Roads in the area were slippery.

One witness, Trey Parks, tells CityNews he lives a block away from where it all took place.

“I’ve never seen anything like this.”

After the rescue, the car remained almost entirely submerged, with only part of the roof and open trunk hatch visible, in the rapids upstream from the American Falls, one of three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls. Onlookers watched as emergency crews prepared to try to pull the vehicle from the water.

Authorities said the driver lived in the area. Her name was not released pending the notification of her relatives.
