He fishtailed and went into the northbound lane then off the road and ended up in the creek.

A witness called the accident in and the man was able to get out of the car himself, which wasn’t submerged. He was not taken to a hospital.

The man did not receive any charges and Nevara said the accident was not weather related.

“He just kind of lost control of the car,” Nevara said.

The estimated damage was put at more than $1,500.
