Firefighters searching the Des Plaines River in the western suburbs near where a vehicle was found submerged on Sunday have discovered the body of a Chicago woman. The vehicle was found almost entirely submerged in the river along Thatcher Avenue, just south of North Avenue in River Forest about 4:40 p.m. Sunday, according to Illinois State Police.
Police said it appeared the 2005 Silver Nissan Sentra "struck the guard rail, rolled over, and came to a rest in the river," according to a statement from ISP. Divers from several area fire departments entered the water and found the car unoccupied.
