RAMSEY — One man is missing and presumed dead after an SUV plunged into the Mississippi River in Ramsey.
Police say the Hummer went off a road, cut through a yard and came to rest about 175 yards from shore about 1:30 a.m. Friday.
A man fell off the roof into the river as rescuers launched a boat. A 42-year-old man was brought to shore. Police say he appeared to be intoxicated, was uncooperative and gave officers only vague answers to questions.
Police say the missing man, a 39-year-old from Ramsey, owned the Hummer.
Kelly Bochenski, who watched the incident play out, says it looked like the vehicle was purposely driven into the river.
