COURTLAND — The U.S. Coast Guard responded to help in the search after a car reportedly crashed into the Sacramento River Wednesday night.

Yolo Fire contacted California Highway Patrol Woodland to report a possible car in the water near Courtland and S. River roads just after 9 p.m. The Coast Guard was then contacted for further assistance.  

When CHP units arrived, all they could see were what appeared to be tail lights of the vehicle submerged in the water.

It appears the vehicle blew through the guard rail as debris was found near the shore, CHP says. 

So far, authorities say the search has come up empty.
