Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Firefighters and divers responded to a boat ramp in Florida where an SUV attempting to lower a boat into the water ended up submerged.

VIDEO AT LINK...........

The Naples Fire-Rescue Department said in a Facebook post that firefighters and dive team members responded to a report of "a vehicle submerged in water at the boat ramp."

The department said all of the occupants of the vehicle were able to safely evacuate before it went underwater.

"The driver of the vehicle was putting their boat in the water when the vehicle slid down the ramp and into the water," the post said. "Rescue divers were deployed to recover the vehicle and the trailer, which was fully submerged."

The vehicle was recovered with assistance from a tow truck, the department said.

There’s nothing more fun than sitting near the boat ramp with some beer and a bunch of buddies watching people trying launch during the big holidays.

Not really enough information the article to tell if the boat was being launched at a lake or the Gulf of Mexico.

Since the Naples Fire was called, it has to be either a lake or the Gulf. The Gulf would be salt-water a lake would presumably be a non salt-water body of water

Apparently you too, because no one invited you to comment with your two useless opinions. One asking who cares. Let that happen to someone on your property, and see if you don’t get sued for damages. Even if you didn’t invite them unto your property.
