Swimming in Silver Lake

A security guard patrolling in the Silver Lake area about 1 am somehow launched his truck into the reservoir and had to swim back to shore. The truck went in around the 2700 block of Tesla Avenue and one report put it getting 100 feet from the water's edge, which if true means he must have been really going when he hit the fence. The guard was uninjured and police say that alcohol and drugs do not seem to be a factor.
