A Sacramento fisherman was working on his boat at around 9:30 p.m. last week when the taillights of a motor vehicle caught his attention.

Upon investigation, he and a fellow fisherman discovered that a car had veered off the road and into the Sacramento River near the marina south of Freeport and was half submerged with a family still inside.
