A couple walking along the Trent Canal on Sunday afternoon discovered an unusual site.

The couple was walking along the east side of the canal on Trent Drive, just north of Parkview Blvd when they saw what appeared to be a submerged vehicle in the canal with the trunk open shortly before 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 24, 2024.

Emergency services were dispatched to the scene and confirmed it was a vehicle in the water.

A number of people stood along both sides of the canal watching the vehicle being removed from the water.
