2 bodies found in submerged car at Oregon coast

SEASIDE, Ore. (AP) — Police in Seaside say two bodies have been found inside a vehicle submerged in the Necanicum River in the downtown area.

KPTV reports that police and firefighters were called to the boat launch at Quatat Park at 10:18 p.m. Monday, when someone called 911 saying there was a car in the river.

Emergency crews found the car, submerged, just north of a boat ramp near the docks.

A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter was called in to search the area around the river for any survivors, but none were found.

Members of the Clatsop County Dive Team found the bodies of a man and a woman inside the car. Both were recovered early Tuesday morning.

Police were waiting to release the names of the victims after family members could be notified.
