Another Vehicle Disappears Into DC River (Video)

WASHINGTON, DC -- Rescuers failed to find a vehicle that apparently plunged into the Anacostia River on Monday, the second time such an incident has happened this month.

D.C. Fire and EMS tweeted Monday evening that they were on the scene of a vehicle in the water in the vicinity of the Washington Yacht Club on M Street SE. They said they were working with the D.C. Police Department Harbor Division as their divers conducted a search.

D.C. Fire and EMS tweeted shortly after that a search of the vicinity turned up negative, and D.C. police would take over.

A 72-year-old woman died earlier this month after her car plunged into the Potomac River near Roosevelt Island. The car disappeared beneath the surface of the river and rescuers were initially unable to find it. Divers finally found the vehicle the next day and confirmed that there was a woman inside.
