TUKWILA, Wash. — Police are investigating after a body was found in a car submerged in the Duwamish River.
On Sunday night, a person reported hearing a car crash in the 12800 block of 48th Avenue South.
When officers arrived, they found a barrier that separates the road from the Green River Trail and Duwamish River damaged.
On Monday, crews and several agencies responded to the area to help in the search.
Due to darkness and the weather conditions, officers couldn’t see over the river embankment whether a car went into the water.
When Tukwila officers located the car, they found a man’s body inside.
The remains were taken to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office.
