Emergency services responded to the call at approximately 12:40 am. The driver managed to exit the water and was taken to hospital. Initially, police were unsure if anyone else was in the car, but subsequent inquiries confirmed that a woman had not resurfaced. Senior Sergeant Roger Schreuder stated that family members organized their own divers to recover the woman’s body, which was retrieved shortly after 8 am.
