A Suffolk County Police Officer and a member of the Patchogue Fire Department rescued a man who was trapped in his car after it became submerged in Patchogue Bay this morning.

Riosarvealo, 33, of Patchogue, Officer Pitre, and Feehan were transported to Long Island Community Hospital in Patchogue, treated for minor injuries, and released.
