In the early hours of Sunday morning, McSherrystown police were involved in the rescue of a driver and a passenger after their vehicle plunged into a quarry. The incident occurred following a police pursuit initiated due to multiple traffic violations by the driver. The chase ended behind the 600 block of Ridge Avenue, where the vehicle veered 30 yards into a body of water.
Authorities successfully extracted both the male driver and a 17-year-old female passenger as the vehicle became completely submerged. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported among the two occupants or the police officers involved in the rescue.
The driver was subsequently arrested and faces charges including felony fleeing and eluding police, along with several other traffic and criminal offenses.
