Firefighters from Mecca Township were called out early Friday after a car went into Mosquito Lake.

Dispatchers got a call at around 5:15 a.m. that a car drove into the lake at a boat ramp near the Route 88 Causeway on the east side of the lake.

The caller told dispatchers that the driver told him he intended to commit suicide, then drove into the lake.

Shortly after 5:30, First Responders pulled the driver from the car, describing him as awake and alert. He was taken to St. Joseph Hospital.
