Baltimore City fire crews recovered a car that had gone over a guardrail into the Gwynns Falls on Tuesday, but did not recover a driver, a spokesman said.

The vehicle went over a guardrail in the 3900 block of Hilton Parkway near Franklintown Road at about 6 p.m. and into the Gwynns Falls, said Chief Kevin Cartwright, spokesman with the Fire Department. But after a long search, Cartwright said no driver turned up.

Crews searched the area along the Gwynns Falls using ground and air resources for several hours. As a precaution, Cartwright said crews had been stationed at Washington Boulevard and South Monroe Street on standby if someone were to wash downstream.

The vehicle was recovered using a tow truck and was badly damaged, with no license plate, he said.

Cartwright said the Baltimore City Police department would investigate the incident.
