A vehicle was discovered submerged in a creek off Pepper Road at Walker Road in Petaluma, CA, today. The incident, classified as a traffic collision with unknown injuries, was reported around 8:30 AM. The vehicle is stuck in mud and water, making towing efforts challenging due to its difficult location.
Witnesses noted that the vehicle is approximately 100 feet into blackberry bushes and submerged in creek water. Despite the water receding, the vehicle remains hard to access. A tow truck has been requested, but previous towing companies indicated they could not handle the situation. The responsible vehicle owner is currently coordinating with their insurance for towing assistance.
The Coast Guard was alerted to the situation after someone discovered the vehicle while heading into the nearby base this morning. Their officers checked on the vehicle and confirmed they had no prior knowledge of it being there.
Efforts to retrieve the vehicle will require specialized equipment, including a wrecker with a significant amount of cable. The situation remains ongoing as responders work to safely remove the vehicle from its precarious position.
Drivers in the area should remain cautious as the incident may impact local traffic flow while towing operations are underway.
