Body Found In Car Pulled From Water At Discovery Park

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – A body has been found inside a car pulled from a drainage canal near the American River at Discovery Park.

Crews were called to the canal around 5:30 this morning after witnesses reported seeing a car traveling about 70 miles per hour when it left Truxel Road, flew through some trees and landed in the water.

Rescue crews and emergency divers searched the water and found the car completely submerged in the frigid waters around 7:30 a.m.   It took several hours for crews to pull out the car because of debris in the water.

When the car was pulled out just after 1 p.m., the crews found a body inside.
