ST. LUCIE COUNTY, Fla. — The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a truck submerged in a canal Sunday morning.
At about 6 a.m., they received a call from a driver about a damaged guardrail at N. Header Canal and Orange Avenue.
After investigating, they determined that the vehicle crashed through the guardrail and landed in the water, nearly fully submerged.
The vehicle was out of reach for Fire Rescue and towing crews to access. The sheriff's office dive team arrived at the scene to assist in the recovery efforts.
The truck was safely removed from the canal and found to be unoccupied. The dive team searched the nearby waters for victims but did not find any.
Authorities said they were going to the home where the car was registered.
The sheriff's office said this is an ongoing investigation.
