GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Crews in Grand Rapids are working to pull a car out of an apartment complex pond.
It happened at the Aspen Lakes Apartments on Knapp Street NE on Wednesday morning. According to Grand Rapids Police Sgt. Dan Adams, an apartment resident had a medical emergency and drove his car into the water.
Witnesses called the authorities, and according to Grand Rapids Fire Department, a good Samaritan rushed to the water to help but was unable to get the car doors open.
An officer responded on scene in less than five minutes along with the Grand Rapids Fire Department's water rescue team who used a police baton to break the side window and get the driver out of the car.
The driver was a male and police say he was the only one in the vehicle. The car is leased to David Alec-Hewson Smith.
The driver was transported to St. Mary's hospital and is expected to be fine.
