A runaway car plunged into the Intracoastal Waterway in Nokomis this afternoon and quickly sank. The scene was captured by a local news crew shooting video from a nearby boat.
The reporter and photographer from SNN News 6, a 24-hour news station based in Sarasota were working on a story about boating safety.
"We were just shooting video of boats going by," said reporter Mia McCormick.
Photographer Chris Kennedy was capturing video of a passing boat when the car went into the water in the background.
