Man Drives Car Off Fort Howe

Police say a driver was lucky to escape with only minor injuries after his car fell 160 feet off of Fort Howe. 

Acting Sgt. Simmons tells us the driver of the tow truck measured the distance while hauling up the vehicle after it landed on the side of the hill, near Main Street. 

Simmons says they believe alcohol was a factor in the incident, and that the driver, who was the only person in the vehicle, didn't drive off the hill on purpose. He was brought to hospital after the fall.
