State police said they received a 911 call shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday reporting a vehicle in the Androscoggin River just south of Errol. The caller reported that the vehicle was completely underwater.
Errol fire and rescue responded to the scene along with a state police trooper, and found a car just under the water line on the east side of the road. They were unable to locate a driver or any passengers and were unable to reach the vehicle due to the depth of the water. Because the car was in the river, the Fish and Game Department was called to respond with their dive team, along with state police Marine Patrol. The Milan Fire Department also assisted at the scene.Sign up for NECN newsletters.
