(Brevard County, Fla.) - A car reportedly veered off the Pineda Causeway and landed in the water. The incident occurred shortly before 12:30 p.m. and left one occupant, the driver, with minor injuries. A small fuel leak was associated with the incident. Brevard County Fire Rescue (BCFR) Hazardous Materials Team was called to evaluate the situation. Because of the small amount of fuel that entered the waterway, no actions were necessary. The call was turned over to the US Coast Guard who said they would monitor the situation, but said they did not need to intervene.
BCFR Hazardous Materials Team remained on scene until the vehicle was removed from the water, to ensure no other hazards were present. The vehicle was safely removed without further incident. The driver of the vehicle was transported by a BCFR rescue unit for further medical evaluation, but his injuries were described as minor.
