KEMAH, Texas -- Authorities worked to pull a vehicle out of the water after it plunged off the Kemah Boardwalk.

The incident happened around 4:30 p.m. at 215 Kipp Ave.

Kemah Police Department says the driver, a 17-year-old, made it out of the vehicle safely. The teen reportedly was about to head to work when he put the vehicle in reverse instead of drive.
