Units Search River In Southeast


July 9, 2004   DC Fire and EMS units hit the water Thursday night, July 8th, to search for possible victims from a car in the Anacostia river under the Sousa Bridge.

Units responding around 11 PM on a full water rescue assignment found an SUV overturned next to the shoreline at the dead end of M Street S.E. Crews from the fireboat and police divers searched the water, rescue squad personnel secured the vehicle.

The search proved fruitless, and the scene was turned over to U.S.Park Police for further investigation.
