Vehicles in waterways.

[EJS]

Andy and I are becoming experts in vehicle removal from rivers! the dump truck owner should be fined, as it wasn't an accident, it was carelessness! I would cut his truck into 6 pieces and scrap it!

A few years back, a buddy and I were kayaking the Pompton River and came across not 1, but TWO completely submerged vehicles. No idea how long they were there, but we called the local PD and within a few days, they were gone. Hate to think of all the fluids ending up in the water!

So there is an accident and the police dont have the vehicle removed from the water?
One call to the DEP and this will stop.

Funny you mention cars in lakes. Its common practice to dispose of hot cars in waterways, that's most likely the situation you came across. The second car Andy and I pulled was a late 60's Mustang. I figured it was just a field car and the driver was a little to drunk and splashed it into the river.

After removing the car I found a cylinder and cutting torch hoses, I carry a full tool set in the trunk, but that's just a little extreme!
