Woman Rescued After Car Plunges Into Big Creek in Alpharetta

ALPHARETTA, GA -- An officer came to the aid of a woman whose vehicle ended up partially submerged in the cold waters of Big Creek Thursday evening in Alpharetta.

According to the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety, the vehicle apparently veered off Old Milton Parkway and "went down the hill into Big Creek" just east of North Point Parkway.

"Quick thinking and action saved an apparently uninjured woman from the exposure of the cold and wet condition she found herself (in)," the agency said on its Facebook page.

The accident remains under the investigation, and the agency notes "intoxication" could have been a factor in the incident.
