A man died Wednesday morning after he was pulled from a vehicle that crashed into Jackson Park Outer Harbor on the South Side. 

Dive crews responded about 5:40 a.m. and removed the 59-year-old man from a vehicle that was in the water off the 6500 block of South Promontory Drive, according to Chicago Police and Chicago Fire Department Cmdr. Curtis Hudson.

The man was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office did not release his name Wednesday morning.

He was the only occupant of the vehicle. Police said the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
