A woman died after her car entered the Niagara River on Wednesday, December 8, according to authorities.

Speaking to media on the scene, a spokesman from the New York State Police said: “We’ve never had a vehicle in the water this close to the brink.”

A US Coast Guard helicopter and rescue swimmer recovered the body of the female victim. The investigation into the incident was ongoing , the New York State Park Police said. Credit: New York State Park Police via Storyful
