A car crashed into San Diego Bay outside of Loews Coronado Bay resort Friday afternoon, and one adult female was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The Coronado Police Department released a statement saying an emergency call came through at 4:15 p.m. Friday regarding an unknown traffic collision in the 4000 block of Coronado Bay Road.
Upon arrival, officers located a two-door vehicle fully submerged in the bay, according to the statement. One adult female was located inside and pronounced deceased at the scene.
