Police are currently working to recover a car that drove off the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier and submerged in the ocean early Saturday morning. The number of occupants in the vehicle is unknown, but police presume anyone inside to be deceased. It is also unclear what the driver’s motive was. A marine patrol unit with sonar equipment has been called in to assist with locating the vehicle and any occupants. The pier, which is located along a three-mile boardwalk in Virginia Beach, is currently closed for the season.
The incident occurred at a historic fishing pier, which has been a popular attraction in Virginia Beach for many years. The pier offers stunning views of the ocean and has been a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and police are working with Virginia Beach Fire and other local authorities on a plan to recover the vehicle and any occupants. As more information becomes available, ABC News will provide updates on this developing story.
