92-Year-Old Rescued After Driving Car Into Lake

A 21-year-old pre-med student was eating lunch when he heard a commotion outside the Hurricane Grill & Wings. He ran outside and saw a silver Lincoln half-submerged in the lake. Two other men — one in the restaurant and another walking by — also saw the car and, along with Alton Brieske, jumped in the water, smashed out a window and pulled 92-year-old Salvtore Mancuso to safety. Police said he was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Investigators don’t know what caused Mancuso to drive into the lake less than a half-mile from his home around 1 p.m. Wednesday.
