Case Number: 1410010199

A 44 year old man called Corpus Christi Police after his car rolled into the Nueces River at Labonte Park. The man said he was attempting to turn around at the boat ramp and had stopped at the edge near the water. As he tried to back up, his white 2013 Dodge Challenger sedan began to slide into the river. The man was able to get out of the car and watched as it sank into the murky water about 30 feet from the shore.  The Corpus Christi Police Dive team is expected to try and recover the car on Thursday morning.

The CCPD Dive Team responded to LaBonte Park to start the process of recovering the submerged vehicle. The dive team utilized a sonar to pinpoint the location of the car. They found the car as well as a second vehicle. The dive team discovered that the second vehicle was reported stolen from Corpus Christi on August 5, 2014 (case# 1408050021). The dive team is in the process of recovering the Dodge Challenger at the time of this update.
