LAUDERHILL, FLA. (WSVN) - A woman was transported to the hospital after a vehicle was found overturned in a canal in Lauderhill.
Lauderhill Police and Fire Rescue responded to the 2000 block of Northwest 56th Avenue, where they said a woman was in cardiac arrest while submerged in the vehicle.
7Droneforce hovered over the scene, where the roadways in the area were shut down as crews worked to remove the woman from the vehicle.
After a short while, rescue crews managed to pull the victim out of the vehicle. Life-saving measures were then conducted before the victim was transported to Florida Medical Center in critical condition.
Divers returned to the waters to conduct a thorough search of the vehicle. It was determined that the driver was the sole occupant.
It appears as though the vehicle broke through the cement barrier, before plunging into the water.
An investigation into the incident is underway.
