Fisherman escapes sinking truck after driving into Santa Margarita Lake, CHP says

A fisherman escaped a near tragedy Monday morning when he became light-headed and accidentally drove his pickup truck into Santa Margarita Lake, according to the CHP.

As the water poured in, 54-year-old man Todd R. Moore, of Creston, recovered and with the help of an onlooker was able to escape the 2004 Toyota truck before it sank to the bottom of the lake.

“He went to a different spot, felt light-headed as he drove (and) ended up in the lake,” said CHP Officer Jose Meza. “Luckily for him, there were some campers nearby that were able to get him out before his truck fully submerged.”
