NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — The New York State Park Police believes the car that plunged into the Niagara River last week has gone over Niagara Falls.

Officials say Saturday's wind and the river's rising water levels likely moved the vehicle. 

There is no word yet on retrieval efforts.

Officials say the driver was a woman in her late 60s who lived in the area. She died before rescuers could get to the vehicle Wednesday. Her body was recovered by a U.S. Coast Guard swimmer, who descended by cable from a hovering helicopter.

Park Police said Thursday, “entry into the water appears to be an intentional act” and an investigation was ongoing.

The woman's cause of death is still being determined.

This is a developing story that will be updated as more information becomes available.
