All 3 occupants escape unharmed
by Dennis Rahm
There were no serious injuries to the three occupants of a vehicle that went off the Manson Highway and plunged into Lake Chelan near Rocky Point this morning.
Marine 71, which coincidentally was conducting training maneuvers in the area, was first on the scene. Shortly thereafter, personnel and apparatus from CF&R 7, EMS, Chelan County Sheriff, and Washington State Patrol arrived to coordinate traffic control and extricate the car.
Initial reports from a WSP spokesman indicate the driver may have fallen asleep. The incident is under investigation.
