Police believe that 23-year-old Michael Latham of Aurora lost control of the vehicle before it crashed into the pond at S. Eola Road and Autumn Grove Circle. The car was upside down and partially submerged when police got to the scene. Aurora Police Chief Keith Cross praised five officers who jumped in the water to try and save the driver, even though the water temperature was about five degrees below zero.
