UPDATE @ 10:30 a.m.: A car that went into the Moira River near Cannifton Road last night, will be pulled out today, but it could take a while.
Crews are on scene this morning after a vehicle went into the river last night, just south of the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre, after a crash with another car which had pulled out of a driveway.
Belleville Fire Chief Mark MacDonald tells Quinte News reporters on scene, they’ve found the car in about 10 feet of water after it drifted, but they’ll have to take some precautions as they pull it out.
The woman driving the car and her dog were able to get out safely and swim to shore.
There is no word on any charges as the investigation into the crash continues.
