Pete Rodman/Daily NewsTodd Gann, of Rockfield, and deputy chief of the Warren County Rescue Squad, watches squad members dive into the Barren River on Thursday at Weldon Peete park on Louisville Road. "I like to be in the boat when my guys are in the water," Gann said. "Just in case."

Michael Lee of Bowling Green takes pictures of his vehicle Thursday after rescue workers pulled it from the bottom of Barren River at Weldon Peete Park on Old Louisville Road.

Lee said he lost control of the vehicle while on a April 25 fishing trip. “I blacked out, and when I came to, water was all around,” Lee said. “I freaked out, then felt for the seat belt, and pulled myself out of the window.”
