Two people were quickly rescued by firefighters after their sedan drove into a drainage culvert and stream, becoming partially submerged, at a park in Mundelein Sunday afternoon.
The Mundelein Police Department and Mundelein Fire Department responded around 12:57 p.m. Sunday to the area of the Courtland Commons Park, 400 East Courtland Street in Mundelein, for a report of a car in the water.
Emergency responders arrived to find a Nissan Altima sedan that was in a drainage culvert along a stream of water underneath a pedestrian overpass near East Courtland Street and Midland Avenue.
Firefighters successfully rescued the two occupants in the Nissan, Mundelein Battalion Fire Chief James Ketcham said.
A heavy wrecker from Ernie’s Wrecker Service responded and removed the Nissan from the water by lifting it out with a crane boom.
