Dive team finds body in submerged car in Warren Co. creek

WARREN COUNTY, Ind. (WLFI) – A DNR dive team has found a body in a vehicle that was found upside down and submerged in a creek just west of Covington, Indiana.

WLFI confirms a Department of Natural Resources dive team that was investigating the submerged vehicle discovered a body inside. No information on the person’s identity is being released at this time.

The vehicle was found mostly under a bridge in a small Warren County creek along County Road 700 West, just north of State Road 63.
