Divers help remove car from pond in Vernon Hills 5-21-20
The Countryside Fire Protection District received multiple calls on Monday afternoon regarding a car accident at the intersection of Lakeview Parkway and North Fairway Drive in Vernon Hills. Witnesses reported that one of the vehicles had veered off the road and crashed into a nearby retention pond, with the driver still inside the submerged car. In response, divers from the Libertyville Fire Department and the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District were quickly dispatched to the scene.
A photo shows the roof and luggage rack of an SUV partially visible in the middle of the pond, highlighting the severity of the incident. The driver managed to escape the vehicle and was seen sitting on the car’s roof when firefighters arrived. With help from bystanders, the driver was safely pulled from the water. Both drivers involved in the crash were taken to the hospital for minor injuries.
Firefighters entered the water to secure the SUV so that it could be towed away by Ernie’s Wrecker Service, which was also on-site. Divers used straps to stabilize the vehicle before it was winched out of the pond. An overview photo shows the location of the pond relative to the intersection where the collision occurred.
Local photographer Larry Shapiro captured several images and a short video of the event. Additional photos can be viewed [here](#) and [here](#). Another image shows the SUV being lifted from the water, while another highlights the Libertyville Dive Squad working on the scene. A separate photo features the second vehicle involved in the accident, and another captures a firefighter cleaning his dive gear after the operation.
A new dive team unit from the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District was also on hand, marking an important addition to their emergency response capabilities. A short video of the scene is available below for further insight into the rescue efforts.
