Video of Salem divers pulling sunken SUV from pond
A Salem-based diving company was involved Tuesday in pulling a sunken SUV from a pond in Southwest Roanoke County. A Ford Explorer had veered off Colonial Avenue and wound up submerged in a pond. Nobody was hurt, thankfully. Authorities called in Chuck Swecker and Rick Wolfe, who operate a Salem company called Aquatrek Adventures, to help retrieve the vehicle. Normally they search for smaller quarry such as tools and mechanical parts, but this was a little different, as this video shows.
We also have a story about the incident here.
