Driver found dead in submerged car in Chisago County creek
A man was found dead in Chisago County on Saturday after his car was discovered submerged in a creek.
Police were alerted at 11 p.m. Friday that the driver, whose name has not been released, was expected to arrive in Chisago County but did not show up when he was expected.
On Friday night and Saturday morning, Chisago County deputies searched an area in Rushseba Township where the person who reported concerns about the driver thought he might be.
Just after noon Saturday, someone called to say they had seen a car underwater in Rock Creek, on the southern edge of the city of Rock Creek, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies found the body of the missing man in the car. No one else was in the car.
The Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office will identify the victim.

A small fire of three to five acres has been detected in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, but it was holding in place as of Wednesday morning.
The fire was discovered Tuesday and is located on an island in Wood Lake, north of County Road 18, according to a news release from the Superior National Forest. The area is to the northeast of Ely.
The release said the fire was smoldering and holding in place due to good overnight relative humidity levels and light to no wind. However, Superior National Forest is experiencing drought conditions and above average temperatures, and increased winds are expected later this week.
The Forest Service is using aircraft to cool the fire and initiate suppression actions. Firefighters are also engaging with the fire, but ground conditions are difficult, the release said.
“This is an ever-changing event, and we ask the traveling public to stay away from the area and seek alternate routes,” the release said.
The fire is burning among timber and heavy, dead balsam fire, the release said. The origin has not yet been investigated, but it is believed to be human caused.
