Frye Island, Maine (WMTW) -- A person was transported to the hospital after they drove their vehicle off the Frye Island Ferry Landing in Raymond early Saturday morning. The ferry was not moored at the dock when the incident occurred.

The Cumberland County Sheriff, Kevin Joyce, reports that a Dodge Dart being operated by 73-year-old David Bruce from Portland veered off the exit ramp and plunged into Sebago Lake.

Raymond Fire and Rescue Chief Bruce Hupper stated that when the vehicle started sinking, the driver managed to exit the car, and a person standing at the dock promptly assisted in pulling Bruce from the water. Emergency first aid was provided until the arrival of the Raymond Fire and Rescue team.

Bruce was taken to Maine Medical Center with unspecified injuries.

It remains unclear why the driver exited via the ramp.

The vehicle was extracted from the water on Saturday afternoon , and the Frye Island Ferry Service is currently running without any issues.
