This rescue of a woman who escaped an overturned car in a canal occurred on Sunday in Contra Costa County, Califronia. It was perforned by a California Highway Patrol air unit working with Contra Costa County Fire District Engineer Dave Manzeck, a rescue swimmer. 

Crews resumed their search on Monday for a male passenger also seen floating down the canal from the wreckage. The driver was found dead in the vehicle. Here are details from the AP:

Authorities are resuming the search for the body of a man presumed dead in the swift current of a Walnut Creek canal where his car plunged.

The car landed upside down in the water after it veered off a downtown road Sunday evening in heavy rain. The crash also left the car’s driver dead and a female passenger hospitalized in critical condition.

The coroner identified the driver Monday as 40-year-old Tim Hogan of San Diego. Authorities say Hogan was trapped inside the car and his body was found inside.

A man and a woman managed to escape the car, and rescuers were able to reach the woman miles downstream in Concord. She was taken to the hospital unconscious.

Authorities had to suspend their search for the other man at nightfall.

The cause of the single-vehicle crash remains under investigation.
