Elderly couple dies after speeding car crashes into St. Clair River

MARINE CITY (WWJ) -- An elderly couple is dead after their car crashed into the St. Clair River over the weekend.

Marine City police say the incident unfolded around 11:15 p.m. on Sunday after they received reports of a vehicle driving at excessive speeds.


The car, which was heading eastbound on Broadway Street, crashed through the steel guardrails and went into the water.

Witnesses on a boat immediately attempted to assist the couple. However, they were unable to get them out of the car as it sank under water.

Dive teams responded to the scene and searched for almost an hour before locating the submerged vehicle.

Officials recovered the bodies of an 83-year-old man and 86-year-old woman.

The circumstances leading to the crash remain under investigation, but officials are calling the situation a "tragic accident."
