BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Four people escaped from an SUV that plunged into the Missouri River in Bismarck.
Police say the driver has been arrested on suspicion of driving drunk.
Officers responded to the river shortly before 2 a.m. Wednesday and found the four in a parking lot and the SUV floating down the river. Authorities say the 21-year-old driver from Interior, South Dakota, apparently confused drive for reverse and accelerated over an embankment and landed in the river.
All three passengers and the driver managed to escape through an open passenger window.
