A spokesperson for Columbus Department of Fire stated that Columbus Fire Divers found an overturned vehicle in the Scioto River, about 15ft submerged. There was also an opening in the trees discovered, where investigators believe a car could have ran through. Investigators stated they believe the car has been underwater for a while due to silt on the truck.
