(CNN)A woman who was pulled from a car submerged in rushing water near the brink of Niagara Falls has died, New York State Park Police said Wednesday.

The unnamed local woman in her 60s was pulled from the car by a rescue swimmer dangling from a US Coast Guard helicopter about 50 yards from the American Falls, police said.
“We have never had a vehicle in the water this close to the brink,” New York State Park Police Captain Chris Rola said in a press conference.
The woman was the only occupant of the car, which witnesses spotted floating down the river, Rola said.
