Why would someone purposely send their unoccupied vehicle into a river? While the answer to that question is unclear that is exactly what happened last week in the Green River. According to the Uintah County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a report of a car in the Green River on Friday, October 5th, approximately four miles south of Highway
40 on Redwash Road
. “The car appeared to have rolled off an embankment and into the river,” shares the Sheriff’s Office. “Members of the Uintah County search and rescue dive team were called to assist deputy’s search for possible victims, however no one was located. As deputies investigated the incident, it was found that no one was in the car when it went into the river.” So what happened? The information released simply reports that the vehicle had been purposely launched into the river over a forty foot embankment in a staged event by the vehicle’s owner. The owner is cooperating with the investigation which is ongoing.
