LAUDERHILL, Fla. – One person is in critical condition while divers do a secondary search to see if there is a second person in need of rescuing after a car went into a canal.
There are conflicting reports if a second person was in the car. Local 10 is working to confirm more information.

Divers from Plantation Fire rescue were able to pull the driver out of the vehicle, which was completely submerged.
