Car, bodies pulled from frozen pond in Indiana

Police are investigating after emergency crews pulled a car out of a frozen pond Monday night in Allen County, Indiana.

Divers from the Department of Natural Resources were later called to the scene. They went into the frigid water and hooked chains to the car to pull it out.

Police confirmed at least one person, possibly two, were found dead inside the car. No other details about the victims were immediately available while officials notified family.

It’s not clear what led to the call for crews to respond, but it was initially called out as a water rescue..

The Allen County Sheriff’s Department is expected to provide more details as the investigation continues.
