The car sank into about 30 feet of water, Fire-Rescue spokesman Sean Baker said. The man was plucked out of the water by a passing boat and returned to shore. He was not hurt, Baker said.
"He drove off the dock and went a pretty good distance," Baker told the Palm Beach Post.
The car was towed to shore. Palm Beach Police are investigating the incident, WPEC reported.
