Police said the driver of a Subaru Crosstrek heading south on West Street lost control on a curve while approaching West Main Street, went off the road, clipped a telephone pole, then hit a parked van and rolled over.
The Crosstrek hit a fence, started going over a retaining wall and became wedged while hanging over the river.
