"Fire officials received a call around 8:15 p.m. reporting a car had entered the Sudbury River at Sherman's Bridge. When crews arrived, officials found the Subaru approximately 200 feet downstream. It had briefly floated before sinking to the bottom."
"McPherson said the man had been fishing and was sitting inside the car when a fishing pole alarm sounded. As he was checking it, the vehicle rolled into the river."
"At about 9 a.m., Wayland firefighters and the District 14 dive team began recovery efforts. After more than two hours, McPherson said crews secured the car with a cable and pulled it from the river using a tow truck."
"The good news is there really was minimal environmental impact as well, despite the fact the vehicle went in the river."
