Spokane Police and fire crews teamed up with some nearby citizens to help pull a teenage man from his car that submerged in the Spokane River after a crash late Monday night. Spokane Police confirmed an occupant was found deceased in the car Tuesday morning. Police say a combination of swift moving water, the lack of light and the car being unstable all made it impossible to check for a body until the sun came up. A tow truck retrieved the car from the river around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. The Spokane County Medical Examiner had recently arrived on the scene. The name of the deceased will be released by the medical examiner at a later date when appropriate. Another teen had been pulled from the car by police with assistance of some bystanders following the crash just after 11 p.m. Monday. He was hospitalized with serious injuries
