當車輛落水, 搶救是和時間賽跑!
On Monday, May 8, 2017, at 4:21 p.m. the Venice Police Department responded to a report of a vehicle that drove off the South Jetty and into the waterway. Callers were reporting that there were two subjects inside the vehicle and that the vehicle was slowly submerging. Rescue attempts were made by a Venice Police Officer and citizens who entered the water from the South Jetty as well as a passing boat. The Venice Marine Patrol arrived on scene as the vehicle completely submerged into the Venice Inlet.
As shown below in this witness video obtained by VPD, rescuers placed themselves in harm’s way due to strong winds and tidal current; unfortunately, they were unable to remove the vehicle’s occupants. Additional agencies responded, including the Venice Fire Department, Sarasota County Sheriff’s Marine and SURF Team, Sarasota Police Department Dive Team, U.S. Coast Guard, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and Sarasota County Fire Rescue.
The vehicle was located and towed to Higel Marine Park for further investigation. The victims have been identified as Eugene Hayden (DOB 07/03/1928) and his daughter, Carol Hayden (DOB 12/18/1952).
We would like to thank all additional personnel and bystanders that assisted during this event. At this time, the case is still under investigation pending further review and a Medical Examiner’s Report. For further information, contact the Venice Police Records department, referencing case number 17-0001018.
