A 22-year-old man was killed when a car plunged into a canal off the Hudson River in Jersey City early Wednesday, police say. Marc Puich was pulled out of the Morris Canal about two hours after he drove off a parking lot on Liberty View Drive, crashed through a steel barrier and then dropped into the waterway. He was unresponsive when he was pulled from the water at around 3:30 a.m. and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
