SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - A vehicle drove off of the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf into the ocean on Sunday morning.

The Santa Cruz Fire Department reported that the vehicle drove off the side of the wharf about 9:45 a.m.

An image shared by the fire department showed a portion of railing broken off the side of the dock and leading into the waters below.

The SCFD said one person and a dog were extricated from inside the submerged car, but did not elaborate on their conditions.

The SCFD – along with several other departments – were still on the scene as of 11 a.m., and the entrance to the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf was closed as authorities worked to recover the vehicle.
