The Joplin Police Department Major Crash Team is investigating, after a body was found in a fully submerged vehicle in Shoal Creek.

 JPD officials say the call for the vehicle came in around 2:30 yesterday afternoon. The Nissan Armada went through a wooded area before going into the water on the west end of McIndoe Park, near Glendale Road and South Jackson Avenue. Kayakers said they paddled to the SUV, but were unable to establish contact with the driver.

 Joplin Police, Joplin Fire, Redings Mill Water Rescue and Joplin Water Rescue responded.

 The investigation is ongoing.
