A body was found in a vehicle that crashed into a Peters Township reservoir Friday morning.

Crews were called around 12:35 a.m. to Boone Reservoir in Peters Township after a resident heard a speeding car on Sherwood Drive and a loud crash, Peters Township police say.

Officers found a guiderail heavily damaged on Waterdam Road and debris in Boone Reservoir.

First responders found a vehicle about 160 feet from the shore in eight feet of water, police say.
