MEDINA – Automotive Solutions in Medina uses a heavy wrecker tow truck to pull a pickup from the Erie Canal in Medina this morning at about 10 a.m.
Officials at the scene believe the truck went in the canal during the night. There is no sign of the driver at the scene, or any footprints leading from the scene.
The Medina Police Department welcomes any information from the public about the driver.
Firefighters and local police were dispatched to the scene at 8:45 a.m. Fire Chief Matt Jackson said it is unusual to have a vehicle in the canal, but it does happen once every few years.
The truck was headed south on North Gravel Road and failed to make the right turn onto the lift bridge.
These tire tracks show where the pickup, a red Chevy S-10, left the road and went towards the canal.
Automotive Solutions has the truck strapped and starts to left it out of the muddy canal.
The spot before the lift bridge on North Gravel Road has a bend just before the bridge.
