Another Car Lands In The Water

When they didn't see the car return, they decided to investigate. A few minutes later, an employee spotted the vehicle in the creek. The vehicle was still upright and partially submerged, and the driver was still sitting in the driver's seat.

When firefighters from Station 21 arrived moments later, they spotted the employee and the driver of the vehicle walking on the road toward the visitor's center. A short time later, the driver was transported by Hamilton County EMS to a local hospital. An update on his condition was not available. Chattanooga police traffic investigators are trying to determine what exactly happened.

The first incident occurred late Tuesday afternoon at 490 Greenway View Drive, near the Brainerd Walmart. Chattanooga firefighters managed to pull the 75-year-old man from the submerged car, but he died the next day at the hospital.
