An eyewitness in Bay Ridge reported that a male driver in a black sedan drove off the 69th Street Pier at approximately 1:30 a.m. Monday morning.
According to a spokesperson from the 68th Precinct Community Affairs Division, a 911 call was reported immediately after the man had driven his vehicle off the pier and into the water.
The NYPD and FDNY responded to the call. The eyewitness claimed that the car was sinking by the pier, according to an initial report, but new information indicated that the sedan was drifting from the shore toward the Verrazano Bridge.
