Mysterious car found in Eagle Scout Lake

Police are looking into how a car ended up in a Grand Island lake.

Police were called Monday morning to Eagle Scout Lake when walkers on the lake’s trail noticed the trunk of a car sticking out of the water.

Record drought has lowered the water level at the lake nearly 6 feet.

Police are trying to determine whether the car has been in the lake for some time or was recently driven in.

Police Sgt. Dale Hilderbrand says front end damage, a broken headlight and black paint on the headlight lens indicate the car may have been involved in a crash with another vehicle before going into the lake. Investigators say the maroon Ford Taurus had no license plates.
