A woman in the United States was found alive in a vehicle that was submerged in a lake, two days after she was reported missing. In a Facebook post on Saturday, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said it received a call for help on April 7 from a fisherman at the Lake...
“With the assistance of the wrecker service, fisherman, and Marion County deputies, a female was safely rescued from the submerged jeep,” said the post.
The fisherman who made the call to the police used his boat to help a tow-truck worker get close to the jeep and hook up a tow cable, Captain Chuck Rogers, an investigator at the Sherriff’s Office told US radio broadcaster NPR.Authorities later determined that the woman had been reported missing since April 5, according to a report by The Guardian.It is not known how long the jeep had been submerged in the water, said Mr Rogers.
“There was nothing uncovered during the investigation to suggest this case was anything more than an accident,” he added. More than 1,300 comments were left under the Facebook post, with many praising the rescue efforts that took place on Good Friday. Netizen Ms Melony Coalson commented that the story is “mind-boggling”, and added that she hoped to hear more about it.Get The New Paper on your phone with the free TNP app. Download from the
