BLOOMFIELD, Ky. (LEX 18) — The Northeast Nelson Fire Protection District reports that one person is dead after they were found inside a vehicle that was "submerged" in a pond on Sunday night in Bloomfield.
According to officials, they responded to the 300 block of Chaplin Road around 11:30 p.m. after a caller told dispatch they could see taillights in the pond.
When arriving on the scene, officials say they discovered a vehicle "partially submerged about 65 feet from the bank of the pond."
Officials say the fire department used a boat to reach the vehicle, but it was completely submerged, and they could not tell if anyone was inside. As a result, Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Department was called in for their dive team.
According to officials, the dive team entered the pond, found the vehicle, and discovered a person was inside.
