Harbor Police on Sunday arrested a man on suspicion of driving under the influence after he drove his vehicle into San Diego Bay.

The man, 48, was driving a Kia Soul with female passenger, 22, at about 1 a.m. Sunday in the 1300 block of Harbor Island Drive when he drove off the road and into the bay, said Sgt. Troy Nicol.

The two escaped the vehicle through an open window and swam ashore, the sergeant said.

According to OnScene.TV, the driver refused to take a field sobriety test or to submit to a breathalyzer test, prompting his arrest.

Authorities booked the man into jail, where his bail was set at $50,000. A tow truck hauled the car out of the water.
