SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – On Monday morning, April 27, South Lake Tahoe police and fire crews responded to an incident that left a Subaru Hatchback in the shallows of Lake Tahoe near Timber Cove Beach. 

“Sounds like it was an honest mistake,” said Sergeant Matt Morrison with the South Lake Tahoe Police Department (STLPD). “Somehow the gentleman’s car was not in park which caused it to roll into the lake.”

Stuart Bogle, Firefighter Paramedic at South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue, waded out to the vehicle to hook it up to a tow line before a tow truck fished the Subaru out of the water. 

No injuries were reported.
