I wonder what caused him to crash. At 4am, he was probably asleep at the wheel. I’m so glad the police officers were there.

Most likely the driver fell asleep behind the wheel.

A bad thing to do to go into water like that. He was lucky somebody arrived quickly to rescue him. I wonder who made the emergency call?

Either a witness or a bystander who was in the area of the accident.
