Pickup truck lands in pond after driver swerves to avoid deer

WALPOLE, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – Members of Walpole's police and fire departments pulled a pickup truck out of a pond off Oak Street Sept. 30 after it became completely submerged during an early morning accident.

Authorities responded to the area of Oak Street at Audubon Drive at about 1:30 a.m. for reports of a vehicle that had left the road, crashed through a fence, and came to rest in a small pond near the intersection.

The truck was completely submerged, but the driver, 37-year-old Haralambos Kalemkerieds, was not injured, reports The Walpole Times.

An automobile service center, along with two SCUBA divers and some heavy equipment, were able to remove the car from the pond Wednesday morning.

Kalemkerieds told authorities he swerved to avoid a deer.
