A man who was pulled from his submerged vehicle after a car crash last week has died of his injuries. 

The driver had crashed into the retention pond at the Interstate 95 exit ramp on Palm Coast Parkway on April 16. 

A public information officer at the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office confirmed on April 24 that the man has died, despite life-saving measures attempted by first responders at the scene. 

The driver had lost control of his car and veered into the pond, where the car turned upside down in the water, according to an FCSO press release. The driver was the only occupant.

FCSO deputies, Palm Coast Fire Department firefighters and civilians worked together to pull the driver from the car and search the water for more potential occupants. 

The man was unconscious when he was pulled from the water, according to the press release.
