Emergency workers found two people dead Wednesday inside a Volkswagen sedan that was resting on its roof submerged in Bear Creek in Evergreen.

“We don’t have a time as to precisely when it went in, but it appears to have been in there for at least several hours,” said Trooper Josh Lewis, of the Colorado State Patrol.

The tires were barely visible above the water and the vehicle was iced over, said Capt. Stacee Martin, of Evergreen Fire and Rescue.

A passerby reported the 2015 Volkswagen was in the water near 37134 Colorado Highway 74 at about 8:15 a.m.

“There were two parties inside the vehicle, both fatal,” Lewis said.

The accident is under investigation.
