Suspected DUI driver fished out of Mission Bay

SAN DIEGO: A suspected drunk driver trying to elude police crashed and then jumped into the water near DeAnza Cove Sunday afternoon where he had to be fished out by lifeguards.

A police sergeant saw the man drive by him on West Mission Bay Drive at an estimated 70 to 90 mph about 1:15 p.m., San Diego police said.

He followed the driver who crashed into a fence and then climbed over it in an effort to get away, police said.

Lifeguards retrieved the man from the water and he was taken to a hospital for evaluation.

He will face driving under the influence charges, police said.
