Two people were able to escape from a vehicle that plunged into North Lake in the Woodbridge area of Irvine Friday night, authorities said.

Around 9 p.m., the vehicle went through a wall and a metal chain and was launched about 100 feet in the air before it overturned and hit the lake, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said.

Two people inside the car — both described as men in their early 20s — were able to swim out, according to Concialdi.

One had a fractured ankle and remained at the scene, Concialdi said.

The other person initially fled on foot and was eventually apprehended by Irvine police, he added.

Both men were taken to a local hospital and treated for moderate injuries, according to Concialdi.

Authorities do not believe there was anyone else in the vehicle at the time it crashed into the water.

No other details were immediately available.
