HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Emergency responders on Saturday located a vehicle using sonar in the Arkansas River after someone spotted it while fishing.
The person initially believed there may have been a body with the vehicle, but the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office has ruled that out.
The Sheriff’s Office, Arkansas Game and Fish and a specialized dive crew from the Conway Fire Department responded and were able to determine an object beside the vehicle was a submerged log.
According to deputies, the vehicle was spotted below the water line at the bottom of the boat ramp at Murray Park around 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Divers then determined on Sunday morning that it was unoccupied.
Arkansas Game and Fish officials said the vehicle will be recovered when conditions improve for divers in the river.
