Woman Saved After Driving Car Into Ocean On Cape Cod

YARMOUTH, MA — A woman was saved from her car after she drove it into the ocean at Bayview Street Beach on Cape Cod late Monday night.

Just after 10:30 p.m. on Monday, Yarmouth police and fire officials responded to the beach located at a dead-end road after reports of a vehicle crashing and ending up about 100 feet out into the water.

When officers arrived, they discovered a car floating in the channel. A short time later, the car submerged and was eventually located in approximately 15 feet of water.

Witnesses reported at least one person in the car. Combined efforts between the Yarmouth Police Department, Yarmouth Fire Department and the Yarmouth Department of Natural Resources led to successfully extricating the victim from the car, officials said.

The victim was transported to a local hospital. Foul play is not suspected, officials said.
