Two men escape, hospitalized after rental Corvette lands in canal

SUBURBAN ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Two men are in the hospital after their rental car flipped on its top in a canal in suburban Royal Palm Beach this morning.

The red 2012 Corvette rented from Hertz landed upside down in a canal located at the intersection of Folsom Road and Okeechobee Boulevard, west of State Road 7, shortly after 5 a.m.

Deputies say the men are expected to be okay.

It is not clear if either of the men will be charged with breaking any laws.
