Sunken Car Found In Lake *RECOVERED* (Toyota Tundra)

- I got a call from the local marina that there was suspicion a truck had been sunk in the lake the evening prior. They wanted me to come out and use my Humminbird side imaging to see if I could locate it. I headed to the lake to do some driving around to search for it and after a lot of searching, I located something in the water that looked like a truck. I marked it with the GPS on my Humminbird and then waited for the tow truck and the diver to arrive.
Ryan Prigmore with Blue Diver Search and Recovery arrived and located the vehicle quickly and then the long process of recovering the 2013 Toyota Tundra took place. The entire process of locating the vehicle with the fish finder, getting the diver in the water, and then the tow trucks pulling it out took about 10 hours, and this video documents the vehicle search and recovery. Luckily nobody was hurt other than the truck that got sunk.

Good stuff Chad
We had something similar happen here. A little old lady went missing for several weeks. She had driven down the boat ramp at night thinking it was a road. Sadly, she passed away and her body was in the vehicle when they recovered it. It was a shock to all of us because we were launching right over her car and had no idea!
That’s horrible!
Really sad, people don't realize how serious this is. There were three young girls who stole a car ended up in a pond -- this was just a few years ago, and they were on the phone with police for several minutes as all 3 drowned, trapped in the car. People don't realize what it's like to be trapped in a car. It's incredibly difficult to shatter a window and you can't open the door until the pressure variance is so that you will no longer have air. Your power will not work so no rolling down a window, etc. The vehicle can and will shift angles, roll, flip, and other disorienting things that will make exit even more difficult including seatbelts locking. I give everyone in my family emergency glass break and seat belt cutting tools for all their vehicles. Everyone should have them and you need to be able to reach it from your seat even if your vehicle is upside down and you're locked in your seatbelt. I typically zip-tie them to the rear-view mirror -- they are in a sheath so either driver or passenger can reach it and just pull it off with very little effort. Highly advise everyone, EVERYONE, have one of these in their vehicle.
I do know he better get a good believable story together for the insurance company! I can’t even begin to imagine how it ended up going in other than he is just too embarrassed to say that he messed up.
Lol
Chad, I do believe that may be the biggest fish you have ever caught in your life 😆 In all seriousness though, great video it added a little different variety to your channel other than just fishing content. I really liked it.
LOL
This was one of those, Here hold my beer and watch this moments.
LOL
Yes, a vehicle can absolutely turn around, roll, flip, all kinds of things when they go in the water -- just depends on the vehicle and how it goes in. Mythbusters did an interesting episode on it once. I don't think that happened here, but it is definitely possible. I've seen videos on YT where vehicles turned while floating with trailers still attached.
As for how his vehicle got in there -- hard to say, I'd tend to agree with comments in the video that he probably hit that algae and it just slid in -- floated a ways before sinking. It clearly didn't roll across that soft lake bottom. So for that to happen I'd say the windows were all up and doors all shut -- so probably had it parked, I'd guess, and it slid off. (Not sure why you'd back up to a ramp with no trailer, though?)
Those circumstances I just mentioned are why I lock in my 4wd every time my truck is on a boat ramp. Seen way to many videos of trucks slide off into the abyss with the thing in park with the parking brake on.
He heard em Toyota's could go anywhere and not get stuck!! Lol
😂
Wow, Chad, when you were positioned just right, it was clear as day what you were looking at on the side imaging. No question. I was surprised that they didn't wait for daylight to recover it. I agree with some of the other comments about the strange way vehicles react when they hit the water. If you watch enough boat ramp fails on YT, you will see all kinds of flips and spins. My guess here is it went in backwards though. Too bad, looks like it was a nice truck. Any idea how long it was in the water?
Hope they don't decide to pull the boat and trailer out of that cove on Lake Worth. It's a great spring crappie habitat. It's been there for years, I doubt they will.
Vehicles can definitely float and turn. I watch adventures with purpose and they pull Vehicles out all of the time.
Two possibilities spring to mind. 1. Some sort of chemical operator issue and cut it off thinking it was in park and it rolled. Or 2, if manual transmission, shut it down thinking it was in gear, it wasn't, and it rolled.
I know with an auto, if the parking pawl breaks out then park becomes a second neutral. I'd like to think it was a mechanical issue alone and it simply rolled down the slope and hit the water with enough speed to carry it out. Dunno.
As to whether it can turn 180 degrees...it seems a bit far fetched to me, but currents and undercurrents can be surprisingly strong. Depending on waterway traffic, weather, etc, I can kinda see it getting whipped around, but it's not my first inkling on it. By how it was still straight shot onto the boat ramp, I think it went in backwards. Current and waves strong enough to twirl it around would have been strong enough to carry it off.
Well, Now I know what a truck looks like on my screen..
👍
Well, that was a different but interesting article. But, if he was launching or trying to retrieve his boat, I wonder where it is.
No boat involved
Is there a camera watching the ramp?
Yes but wasn’t working
😂😂😂
Damn…. That would have made a great crappie house.
Expensive one!
@@Catfishedge Well, at one time, yeah, but I bet it could be bought now and put back quite a bit cheaper!
Left it out of gear when he got out?
IDK, wish I did!
DEFINITE INSURANCE JOB!!!
There's not a body in the truck is it
No. It was empty.
Should’ve left that junk on bottom of lake.
$$$$$ Going to cost someone a boatload of money to get a now worthless truck out of the water. How did it get there if there is no ramp? By magic? I have a similar issue with sonar. I can never tell where an object it located in relationship to me.
It went down the ramp and way out in the lake.
@@Catfishedge Yea it did. Way out there.
