Update 8:30 p.m:

Crews from Innisfil Station 5 (Big  Bay Point) responded to the report of a car that had driven into the harbour at Friday Harbour. Crews arrived to find that bystanders had jumped into the water, pulled the lone occupant out of the vehicle, loaded him onto a pontoon boat, and started CPR. The crews assessed the patient and confirmed the patient had no pulse and was not breathing. They continued to resuscitate until they successfully restored a pulse.

One patient was transported to RVH, but was breathing on his own when the ambulance left the scene. His current status is unknown.

South Simcoe Police are conducting an investigation into the circumstances that led to the vehicle leaving the roadway.
