A mysterious old station wagon was discovered submerged underwater by crews preparing to pull weeds in Colby Lake.
According to
John Altman said the car was found about 30-50 feet from shore. An inspector spotted the roof of the car while assessing the lake in a small rowboat. We weren t sure if it had been driven on the lake in the winter and fell through, or perhaps if it went in during the summer months, floated, and made the quarter turn to its resting point, Altman told
Bring Me The News.
The car was pulled from the water on June 26 with the help of a dive team with the Washington County Sheriff s Office and Twin Cities Transport and Recovery.

Altman explained the Woodbury Parks and Recreation Division began working with area partners to clean weeds out of the lake. They contracted with a company to assess the lake, and while touring it in a small rowboat, an inspector spotted the roof of a car a few feet below the surface of the lake.

Woodbury is hiring a transportation consulting firm to conduct an engineering assessment of the intersection where a car crashed last month, killing a teenage boy and injuring four others.
In a news release Thursday, the city said it hired SRF Consulting Group, Inc. to assess the intersection design of Settlers Ridge Parkway and Sundance Way and look at conditions and usage, including traffic volume, speeds and accident history. The consultation would also evaluate whether it would be viable to convert the intersection into a roundabout.
