Just after 9:30 a.m. Sunday, Howard County Police received a call that a vehicle had fallen down the Patapsco riverbank from Parking lot B, where, last month, CSX freight train cars derailed, spilling coal and covering parked vehicles.

No one was injured in Sunday's incident, according to Howard County Police.

Police would not give out any information about how the vehicle wound up over the curb and down the riverbank, stopping just before falling into the river.

The driver did not want to talk to media.

Passers-by lined the Main Street bridge to watch as a tow truck lifted the vehicle, a minivan, up the hill and into the parking lot. The car was removed from the riverbank by about 11 a.m.
