A fisherman in Texas called the police after discovering what appeared to be a Jeep almost completely submerged in a lake. When authorities arrived they found a woman inside who was still alive.

The call to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office came in on Friday morning, according to a press release.

A fisherman at Lake O’ the Pines said he saw a black Jeep underwater about 40 feet from a boat ramp.

Deputies arrived on the scene about 18 minutes later and determined it was too dangerous to wade out into the water, Capt. Chuck Rogers told Insider.
