Early Morning Swan River Rescue

A Flathead County Sheriff's deputy coordinates with a tow truck while working to stabilize the line that dive team members are attempting to attach to a partially submerged truck that drove off Bridge street into the river just above Bigfork Harbor. The undercarriage of the truck snagged on a large boulder in the water which kept it from being swept out into the Flathead Lake and allowing for the driver to be rescued from the frigid water.
