No one was injured in the accident.
WHITE HALL -- Emergency crews had to pull a car out of the Tygart River, in Marion County, Thursday.
Shortly before 10 a.m., Erica King was driving north on Route 250, in White Hall, when she lost control of her Toyota Camry, she said.
The car went over an embankment and into the river, in the area just before Woods Boathouse, according to King.
King was able to get out of the car and save some Christmas gifts and personal items, in the process.
An employee at Woods Boathouse quickly got into a boat and was able to help King get to safety.
She was not injured.
The Pleasant Valley Volunteer Fire Department, the Marion County Dive Team, the Marion County Rescue Squad and the Marion County Sheriff's Department were all called to the scene.
The divers attached cables to car so a tow truck could pull it out of the water.
