Deputies are investigating after a Jeep was found upside down in the East Baker Canal at Hines Avenue in Lehigh Acres.

According to a Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputy, the Jeep was found on Tuesday morning, and he’s not sure what time it happened or if there were any injuries.

The deputy noted that it appears the vehicle drove past a dead end and ended up in the water.

The deputy said the Jeep looks like it has been here for some time.

On the other side of the canal, there is a street sign and dead-end signs. The vehicle might have hit that before winding up in East Baker Canal, as tire tracks are visible on the hill.

The public information officer said he would provide more information when they can, but it’s still an active scene.
