POLSON — The City of Polson Fire Department was dispatched to a call that a vehicle was submerged in the Flathead River off the corner of Seventh Avenue West and Kerr Dam Road on Wednesday afternoon.

First responders didn't find anyone inside the pickup truck thanks to help from an underwater drone.
