A female motorist is dead after her car plunged into the Niagara River and got stuck on rocks just 50 yards from the brink of the Falls.
State Parks Police Captain Chris Rola said several people reported seeing the car enter the water between the vehicle and pedestrian bridges at Goat Island.
“We’ve never had a vehicle in the water this close to the brink,” Captain Rola said.
