The driver suffered minor injuries but was able to exit the vehicle on his own. Luckily, no one else was hurt, considering the area is popular with swimmers and kayakers
Would this be a criminal offense? As much as it’s annoying that his car is so massive, he drove a street legal vehicle in the wrong place. Paying for the damages seems like a sufficient consequence.

That is in no way related to the question asked. Are you a career politician by chance?
Sorry, I was quoting the article in attempted response to another commenter saying the driver was dead :0
Nice save.
Need to pay the cost to repair the bridge too
You can’t charge a corpse
There’s some nifty trick here to avoid parking tickets
