Divers Search For Car That Plunged Into San Gabriel River In Long Beach

LONG BEACH (CBSLA.com) — Divers were searching Friday evening for a vehicle that careened off a bridge into the San Gabriel River.

Long Beach City Fire had crews around 5:30 p.m. scouring the river under the College Park Drive overpass, near the 22 Freeway.

There are unconfirmed reports that the passengers were swimming in the water when emergency responders arrived.

Crews ended their search around 6 p.m. after it was determined no one else was inside the car, which was left - for now- at the bottom of the river.
