According to
the Associated Press, a man going through the
pains of a divorce sent his wife's red Corvette
plunging into a river, triggering a search for a
possible victim inside the car, police said. Read

Officers were called on Monday afternoon
about a car in the Delaware River. A witness
told them that a man had driven to the
riverbank, gotten out and then let the car
run into the river, police Inspector Scott
Small said.
"I guess he was angry with her and drove
her vehicle into the Delaware River," Small
said.
Marine units found the 1990 Corvette in
about 30 feet of water, where it was pitch
black, and felt around inside to make sure it
was unoccupied, Small said. They then
attached a tow line so the car could be
pulled from the river less than two hours
later. Small said investigators later
determined that a 50-year-old man had
gone to the residence of his wife, who is
cooperating with police, and taken the car.
He said the description given by the witness
matches the husband.
The man is being sought but probably won't
face theft charges because it appears the
couple had joint custody of the car, Small
said. But he said the man may have violated
a protection from abuse order and likely
faces charges of reckless endangerment.
Small said it was "extremely dangerous" for
divers to have to go down in dark conditions,
especially in that area, where the river
bottom is littered with car parts, rebar and
trash.
