Three people are dead after a vehicle was discovered this morning submerged in Cedar Creek, in unincorporated Lowell. The Lake County Sheriff's Office reports they responded to a personal injury crash just after 7am today, in the 75-hundred block of Belshaw Road, and found a vehicle resting on its roof in Cedar Creek. Authorities say 21 year old Raymond Rodriguez and 20 year old Sarah Spencer, both Lake Village, were found deceased in the vehicle, and that a second passenger, 40 year old Dustin Gregolunas, of DeMotte, was identified this afternoon. The Lake County Sheriff's Office reports an investigation indicates the vehicle was traveling east, when it went off the roadway, into the grass at the apex of the curve, then airborne...striking a tree, and finally into the creek where it came to rest on its roof. Authorities say aggressive driving could be a factor in this crash, and an investigation is still pending.
