Car plunges off Swansea Bridge

BY IAN CROUCH and JESSICA ROUSE

A woman had a lucky escape when her car crashed off Swansea Bridge last night.

The woman, in her 30's, lost control of her Ford Falcon in the wet, and crashed through a guard rail and into the water.

She managed to free herself and swim to shore, and was taken to hospital as a precaution.

Authorities are trying to work out how to recover the car, and boaties are being advised to steer clear with the car submerged between two of the bridge's eastern pylons.
