For the unnamed couple, who were driving a dark-colored sedan, officials said, “Lucky for them, the water level was very low, and they landed in only about four feet of water.”
No further details were given by officials, but they did take to their Facebook page with photos of the crash, showing the rescue of the couple by emergency personnel.
