SPRINGDALE, Ark. —
A body has been recovered after a car went into Beaver Lake, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Department.
Deputies say Clifford Collins, 16, was inside a vehicle when his family stopped to look at the view over a bluff on Saddle Shop Lane, near the spot where Highway 412 crosses the lake, east of Springdale. Deputies say the vehicle had been having maintenance issues and started to roll with Clifford still inside. It rolled off the bluff.
The area of the lake where the car is submerged is 40 feet deep, deputies said.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office, Central EMS, the Nob Hill Fire Department, and Hickory Creek Fire Department, the Army Corps of Engineers, and two county dive teams responded to the scene.
Collins' body will be sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab to determine the exact cause of death. At this time, foul play is not suspected.
