After a DC vehicle plunged into the Anacostia River, three unidentified people were discovered dead on Thursday night.
Three Dead in a Tragic DC Vehicle Accident
The Metropolitan Police Department, the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department, and the Coast Guard in Washington, D.C., received multiple reports about a DC vehicle plunging into the Anacostia River at approximately 10:30 in the evening.
A video filmed during the operation showed how several teams worked for hours using fireboats and a helicopter to recover the DC vehicle and rescue the people inside.
However, the supposed rescue operation turned into a recovery operation as all the victims were found dead soon after, Fox News reported.
All Victims Remain Unidentified
Almost half an hour after the operation began, the teams were able to locate the DC vehicle under the water and confirmed that the first victim was trapped and already dead inside the vehicle. Meanwhile, the second and last victims were later found outside the vehicle by police divers on Friday morning at almost 1:30.
The police continue investigating who the unidentified victims are and what happened before the incident ended on a tragic night.
