Good evening. Tonight, a man was found in his car. His car, however, was found upside down in the canal leading to the Bay. The man was a river pilot, and he had been missing for about a day. Apparently he just drove straight at the end of one road instead of turning when he should have.
Of course, I missed this call because the other crew was out on another call before I got to the station tonight. So, I didn't see the body. I have it on good information though that the body was hard to get into the body bag, because his arms were stuck out and stiff as if it were still holding on to the steering wheel.
I'm guessing he was unconscious, or very drunk, or dead when all this happened. Because, he drove over a hundred feet of rough ground and a small dock and made no atempt to get out of the car. That doesn't sound like a healthy, living person to me.
It's also similar to the last dead people I saw in an accident that just drove straight off a road instead of turning around the bend of the curve in the road. They ended up upside down and dead against some trees.
