WATERTOWN, WI : Driver arrested after vehicle crashes into Rock River on Thursday, 29th June 2023

Watertown Police Department officers arrested a driver early Thursday morning after finding him still inside a vehicle that was sitting, half-submerged, on its side in the Rock River.

The police department shared body camera video several hours later that showed an officer approaching the vehicle around 1 a.m. after the police department received a call the vehicle had gone off the road and into the river, near Tivoli Island.

After firefighters freed the 27-year-old man from the wrecked vehicle, he was taken to the hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The driver allegedly admitted to investigators that he had been drinking, and he has since been arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, among other counts, WPD indicated.
