Woman Dies After Car Goes Into Manasquan River: Police (UPDATE)

A woman was found dead after her car went into the Manasquan River at Bogan's Basin Deep Sea Fishing Center on Sunday evening, Brielle police told Patch.

The name of the person, a 77-year-old woman from Wall, was not available as of Monday, and police just removed the vehicle around mid-day, according Brielle Police Chief Gary Olsen.

The incident happened around 9:28 p.m. when Brielle police responded to a black SUV that went into the Manasquan River and then landed underneath the Route 35 bridge, Olsen said.

The car went front-first into the river, and then remained in the waterway until Monday morning, Olsen said.

Olsen said police removed the woman from inside the vehicle two to three hours after the incident, between 10:30 and 11 p.m.

The woman was pronounced dead around 11:30 p.m. at the Hackensack Meridian Health Ocean Medical Center in Brick.

Olsen said police were reviewing footage and discovered that alarms were triggered at Bogan's at 9:28 p.m., and that the same surveillance video showed a car on a dock before going into the water.

This is a developing story. Patch will have more information as it comes in.
