COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Division of Police has identified the man who died after crashing into a pond in west Columbus on Saturday as 27-year-old Arlin Aguero
The Columbus Division of Fire and the Columbus Division of Police were called to Brookview at Templeton Crossing apartments in the 5400 block of Arbrook just after 7 p.m.
Two people were inside the vehicle when it went into the pond, Battalion Chief Jeff Geitter said. One person was able to get out of the vehicle and swim to shore.
The crash report from Columbus police says Aguero was on Bishopknight when he may have been trying to turn left onto Summerlin Way, but went over the curb and into the pond.
Geitter told 10TV's Richard Solomon that four officers jumped into the pond to help Aguero but were unsuccessful.
Divers later arrived and pulled him out from the passenger side of the vehicle. Geitter said he was submerged for at least 20 minutes.
Aguero was taken to Doctors Hospital. Police confirmed to 10TV that he later died.
The person who was able to get out of the pond did not suffer any injuries, according to the crash report.
The vehicle was upside down as crews pulled it from the water.
Investigators are working to determine what led to the vehicle being driven into the pond.
