Well, I spoke with our intrepid police chief the other day. He tells me they found the guy - his name is Mark Cooper and he had his wife Sierra in the car with him. The story is rather intrigue-ing - a real classic!
Anyhow, according to the chief it sounds like he got to the ridgeline of the summit on Peggy's Cove and he was doing about 80 when a deer jumped out in front of him and he tried to dodge it but the deer was being chased by a lynx. The guy hit his breaks and skidded about five-hundred feet, right into the water. The guy had no clue he was right on the edge of the water.
Mark knew it would take a century to get the car out of the water and didn't want try to be a celebrity by pulling it out himself. He also knew his insurance company would get him a car of a better caliber if he claimed this accident. However, the insurance company is bound to see this charade!
