VALLEY, Neb. (AP) — Officials say the body of a Fremont man has been found inside a sport utility vehicle that had crashed into an eastern Nebraska lake.

25-year-old Brock Redding’s body was found Friday in the lake just west of Omaha.

Valley Police Chief Brett Smith says it appears Redding ran a stop sign, drove through trees and a fence and hit an irrigation pipe that sent the SUV airborne and into the lake.

Officials say the crash happened late Thursday or early Friday. It appears no one witnessed the crash, but the damaged fence and floating front bumper in the lake led authorities to the sunken SUV.

An autopsy was scheduled for Saturday.
