A Crash…Into The Drink

A driver is hospitalized…after she drives into the St. Joseph River, in Leo. Police and medics are called to the river, in the area of Grabill and Schwartz roads…on the northeast side of town. There, crews found a vehicle 10 feet offshore, floating in the water, with the driver sitting on top of it. The driver is pulled to shore and eventually taken to a local hospital to be checked out. No word on her condition. Divers searched the car and found no one else inside. Officials tell reporters…there were reports of reckless driving and a hit-and-run in the Leo area, involving a vehicle that matched the description of the car that went into the river. Investigators are on the case. Alcohol possibly contributed to the crash.
