Car found submerged in Lucky Peak

ADA COUNTY, Idaho — The Ada County Sheriff's Office says they have not found anyone inside a submerged vehicle in Lucky Peak Reservoir.

The car was upside down in the water near the high bridge on Idaho 21, according to officials.

Sheriff's office spokesman Patrick Orr said there have not been any reports of a car driving over the cliff. The vehicle has visible algae on it and appears that the submerged vehicle has been in the water for some time, he said.

The car had been reported stolen, officials say, and it is not believed there was anyone inside when it went into the water.

According to the sheriff's office, the water level in the reservoir has dropped enough that part of the car is visible above the water.

Deputies and a dive team were called out to the location to investigate. The car was pulled out of the water by a tow truck.
