Driver Escapes Submerged Van After Crashing Into Pond in Southlake

First responders in Southlake are investigating Tuesday morning after a man drove off a road and into a pond.

Southlake police wrote on social media at 5:30 a.m. that the vehicle was submerged in a pond near the 3100 block of Sabre Drive.

The driver was able to escape the vehicle and pulled a fire alarm at a nearby building, which notified rescue crews, a police spokesman told NBC 5.

Southlake police were working with a Grapevine-based dive team to check if anyone else was inside the vehicle.

Video from the scene showed a tow truck pulling a white minivan from the pond.

The intersection of Kirkwood Boulevard and Sabre Drive was closed as emergency crews worked.

So far no injuries have been reported.
