NEWPORT, Ky. - Rescue boats are on the scene after a car fell into the Ohio River off the Combs-Hehl Bridge on I-275 near Coney Island Tuesday afternoon, officials say.
There is no report on the number of occupants in the car or how it fell off the bridge. Boats are circling under the bridge.
Chopper 9 has this exclusive bird's-eye view.
A crash happened on the north end of the Ohio-bound lanes, but it's not clear if the car was involved in the crash.
