The Marion County Sheriff’s Office says in a Facebook post the woman was pulled from a Jeep that was underwater in the southern portion of Lake ‘o the Pines on Friday. According to the post, the woman had been reported missing out of Longview, a town around 35 miles south of the lake.

As the vehicle was about to be pulled from the water, first responders noticed there was a woman inside, and they realized she was alive.

The woman was pulled from the vehicle safely and taken to the hospital.
