CHP searches for car submerged in Eel River

GARBERVILLE – The California Highway Patrol is investigating what appears to be a deadly crash off Highway 101. The CHP in Garberville says it received a call Friday afternoon about a car off an embankment south of Dora Creek in Northern Mendocino County. When officers arrived, they saw where a vehicle had gone into the Eel River but it was submerged. Officers say due to heavy rain, low visibility and the river’s swift current they couldn’t find the vehicle. They have continued their search — even using a helicopter — but have not yet found the vehicle.
