"At that time, the dive team was able to get into the water and confirm that there was at least one patient in the vehicle," said Mike Drivdahl, with the Fort Worth Fire Department. "It is unfortunate that due to the amount of damage to the vehicle and due to the amount of time that the vehicle was under water, we believe that that is going to be a recovery at this time."
