Jakob Emerson from WICS News Channel 20 was covering a story about a project at the Spaulding Dam in the Sangamon county in Illinois’ Springfield town.
In the video, a white pickup truck was parked in the background. During his coverage, the pickup trick started slowly moving backwards towards the lake. However, the anchor did not realise the movement till the truck fell in the water and submerged almost completely.
Thankfully, nobody was in the vehicle when the truck fell into the lake. The Sangamon County Rescue Squad also confirmed on Facebook that there have been no injuries and casualties at all, and the car has been successfully rescued.
