Original Story:
Three people died after a vehicle crashed into the river at Ingram Barge in Columbus on Saturday night, according to the Hickman County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office says Ingram employees called dispatch after hearing the crash and finding what they believed to be a car that had hit their ramp and gone into the water.
A diver with McCracken County Emergency Management went down to the vehicle and hooked it to a wrecker, according to the sheriff's office. Once crews pulled the vehicle out of the water, they found three people inside.
Authorities are withholding the identities of the three people killed until their families are notified. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
