Picked upThe Ford pickup truck that was launched off of the Oak Bluffs pier on Thursday evening was retrieved from the water by a
local contractor today. JWL Transport was able to subcontract with a barge and crane to pull the truck out of about 25 feet of water, load it onto a flatbed, and then transport it to a scrapyard in Oak Bluffs. It all follows a police chase on Thursday evening. Read our update here.
