Car rolls off road into Winooski River in Montpelier

A car was founded to have rolled into the Winooski River in Montpelier, Vermont on Friday.

First responders were called to the location at the North Branch of the river in Montpelier Friday afternoon. Crews discovered the vehicle more than halfway submerged in the middle of the river.

The car’s owner is safe and stated it was unoccupied when it rolled into the water. They don’t know how it happened.

The car was left in the river for now, because of the rain and high water levels.

The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources was notified, and the car was set to be recovered when the water level lowers.
