There were some very frantic moments Tuesday afternoon when the first responders on the scene found a partially submerged car and started searching for a second victim.
Firefighters used a rope to hoist the 18-year-old up the steep embankment on a backboard. The only eyewitness told police that he saw a red car fly down the Route 322-Boalsburg exit ramp, hit not one but two raised concrete dividers and barely cleared the guardrail.
Police reports indicate the vehicle was traveling so fast it crashed through trees and brush over the creek and slammed into the rock wall before plunging into the water. Firefighters said they were stunned the driver was conscious.
"It was difficult trying to locate (the car),” said Cary Asendorf with the Boalsburg Fire Department. “There were no visible points of where the vehicle went over or went down the embankment. It went over it."
Police say the 18-year-old was flown from Mount Nittany Medical Center to Geisinger trauma center in Danville with multiple injuries.
