LORAIN, Ohio — Two people are dead, and a man survived after a vehicle went into the water at Beaver Park Marina in Lorain.
Emergency response crews were seen searching the water after a car crashed at the marina. Around 9 a.m., a News 5 crew saw first responders carrying two large bags away from the scene. The fire department later confirmed that two bodies had been recovered.
Lorain Police say the deceased are young adult females.
Police received the initial call around 4:15 a.m.

He was transported to Mercy Health Hospital in unknown condition.
