Many years ago they were redoing a road down on the Texas Coast,and while doing it they straightened out a sharp curve & took out a bridge,then built another nearby. In doing this they decided to dredge out the Bayou for Flood Control. Found 17 cars in there that missed that original curve & went off in the Bayou. Some had bodies in them. (Yes,it was near a bunch of Beer Joints?) Some had been down there since the late '60s or early '70s they said?

Recommendation this is military divers at work. State float a barge after with the crane and where these divers can hook to the vehicle and pull the cars up and then float back over to exit point this will make it easier than the wreckers boom trucks on the side trying to pull them up the bank and turn the vehicles old heck, if you need more help call chaos divers there’s a lot of rescue team. Get a hold of them to let you know how it works but get a bar out there with a crane

You sound like some one who has not driven through the delta. There are a lot of little, as in narrow, most low-traffic, roads that often dead end into or follow along the water on top of the levee.
