 Divers use air bags to recover the submerged vehicle

Mackay police are continuing their investigations into an incident in which a teenager drove her car off the southern breakwall at the Mackay Marina on Sunday night


Divers using air bags managed to lift the small sedan to the surface this afternoon.


The car was then towed by the recovery vessel to the public boat ramp at the marina.


The salvage exercise was supervised by Maritime Safety Queensland. The car was removed from the marina as it represented a navigational hazard to vessels.
