A dive team recovered a submerged pickup truck found early Monday morning in Rei Lakes.

One person was in the vehicle when it went into the lake. However, that person got out and fled on foot before the pickup went underwater, Sgt. Chad Brown of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office said.

No alcohol or drugs were found in the vehicle, and Brown said the sheriff’s office will investigate to whom the vehicle is registered.
