Florida Highway Patrol responded to a deadly crash Thursday where a 66-year-old man drove his car into a canal in Charlotte County. The victim was taken to the hospital and was later pronounced dead.
The car went into a canal near Boundry Boulevard and Cape Haze Drive in Rotonda West. Good Samaritans jumped into action to rescue the man before first responders arrived at the scene.
A bystander says she didn’t even think about the water’s temperature as she jumped in, fueled by adrenaline.
