Scarsdale Driver Rescued from the Bronx River

According to the Journal News, Morgan Goodman of Scarsdale was rescued from the Bronx River on Sunday evening when his car veered off the road, struck a guardrail and landed on it’s roof in the river.

Though several motorists tried to help, Morgan remained under water for 2-3 minutes before a Westchester County police officer swam into the river, opened the driver’s side door and was able to release Goodman from his seatbelt. He was carried ashore revived by emergency workers and taken to Valhalla hospital. As of Monday, he was still in critical condition. No one knows the cause of the accident.

Coincidentally, Goodman was in the news in April of this year when he removed the top of a parking meter and took it to Scarsdale Village Hall to show the Village court that it was broken. He was unhappy about receiving a parking ticket.
