A man drove his vehicle into a canal in Brevard County with his ex-girlfriend inside, law enforcement officials said Thursday. The incident occurred near the Indian River on the east side of the county, though exact location details remain under investigation. Deputies responded to the scene after receiving a call around 3:45 p.m. and found the vehicle partially submerged. Both occupants were taken to a local hospital for treatment, but no serious injuries were immediately reported. The driver, identified as 34-year-old James Allen of Palm Bay, was cited for reckless driving and driving under the influence. Allen’s ex-girlfriend, 28-year-old Sarah Mitchell, was treated for minor injuries and released. Deputies are reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses to determine the cause of the crash. This is the second such incident involving Allen in the past year, according to Brevard Police Department records. The vehicle was recovered from the canal by fire department divers, and the incident has prompted a review of safety measures along the river. No charges have been filed yet, but investigators are looking into whether Allen’s actions were intentional or a result of impaired judgment. The canal is a popular route for local commuters but has seen several accidents in recent months. Deputies urged drivers to exercise caution in the area as the investigation continues.
