A bystander and a firefighter helped rescue a man who drove into the ocean near Tidelands Park in Morro Bay on Tuesday morning.

The man drove off of the Embarcadero and into about 8-feet of water. He was able to get partially out of his vehicle.

A bystander and a rescue swimmer then helped the man to safety.

The U.S. Coast Guard and Harbor Patrol are working to remove the vehicle from the bay.
