Chopper 2 captured the heartbreaking scene over the Byram River. The SUV the driver died in was removed by a crane, after being under 10 feet of water. Port Chester police say just before 2 a.m. a Jeep was traveling at a high rate of speed when it came to the end of Purdy Avenue, which is a dead end. Chief Chris Rosabella said it struck a boulder and launched into the air over a chain link fence, through trees and into the water.
"When they recovered the vehicle, it was upside down and it was actually settled into the mud to the bottom of the river up to the door handles," Rosabella said.Officers responded to several 911 calls. Sanchez told them the driver was still in the river."I mean, I feel bad for the family. That's all I can think about, whoever's parents have to get the phone call," witness Brian McEvoy said."No indication, full speed ahead," Rosabella said.
