The incident occurred on the northern part of the lake. Thankfully, the driver managed to escape the van and wander off before police arrived. Don’t worry, though—they eventually tracked him down.

Turns out, this wasn’t just a delivery gone wrong. After a quick check-up at a hospital, the driver was arrested for an unrelated issue. Bit of a plot twist, isn’t it? Meanwhile, the poor van remained stuck in the lake as rescue crews, including a local tow company and fire department, worked on retrieving it.
