Batavia is about 40 miles west of Chicago.

A Batavia Public Works employee called police Monday night after seeing a car drive across a parking lot and into the river.

Divers tried to find the car but had to postpone their search until Tuesday due to frigid water and a fast current.

The driver is believed to be an elderly man from Saint Charles but his identity has not yet been released. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.
