A submerged vehicle has been pulled from Green River in Butler County.

Morgantown Police Chief Giles Taylor said that Tuesday evening at approximately 6:00, Morgantown officers and the Butler County Rescue Squad responded to the boat ramp on Old River Road in Morgantown on the report of a submerged vehicle being identified by “boat mounted sonar.”

Divers from Barren and Hart counties located and assisted in the recovery of a red Ford F-150.
