SELMA, N.C. (WITN) - The North Carolina State Highway Patrol is looking into the discovery of a submerged car with a man’s body inside off Interstate 95.

Early Wednesday, divers found the car and pulled it from the water and recovered the man’s body. According to the patrol, the unidentified man was the only person in the car.

There were car seats in the backseat, but the patrol said the children weren’t with the man.
