I and my family were present when the car parked outside of the hardware store had somehow slipped into reverse… It was running at the time… And plunged into the canal, closing it for the remainder of the day.

State trooper divers from Athol Springs came down and the car was eventually pulled out inch by agonizing inch. It almost ran over my cousins who are playing on that embankment. The family was visiting from Buffalo on a 25 foot Chris Craft docked at Middleport.
