PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Two people were pronounced dead Sunday afternoon after a vehicle was found submerged in a canal, Palm Beach County Fire Rescue said.

Palm Beach County Fire Rescue was dispatched to the intersection of 130th Trail North and Hamlin Boulevard, just south of Northlake Boulevard, shortly before 12:30 p.m., for a reported vehicle in a canal. The area is west of the Grassy Waters Preserve.

Divers entered the canal and located two people who were brought to shore and pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office was investigating.

No other details were available, including how long the vehicle was in the water or any information on the deceased.
