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?
