AVON -- An Avon man is unharmed after crashing his vehicle into a lake Friday night.

The incident happened just after 8:00 p.m. in the 34000 block of County Road 9 in Avon Township.

First responders and good Samaritans helped the driver out of the vehicle. He was not hurt.

Soyka says it's believed a medical condition caused the crash.

A tow truck was called in to remove the vehicle from the lake. The name of the driver was not released.
