A car carrying a family of three went into the Seekonk River in Rhode Island Sunday evening, authorities said. 

The vehicle entered the river near the Taft Street boat ramp shortly before 7:30 p.m., Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said in a statement. 

A bystander riding a jet ski heard the car dive into the water and attempted to help, while another witness called 911, according to Goncalves. 

First responders arrived within three minutes of the emergency call, Goncalves noted. 

The vehicle’s three occupants are believed to still be inside, The Boston Globe reported.  

Recovery efforts resumed Monday, with Pawtucket police and fire personnel working alongside Rhode Island State Police and other state agencies to remove the vehicle from the river, Goncalves said. 

“Conditions are extremely challenging for dive teams due to the strong current and poor underwater visibility,” she added. 

A video released by the Globe shows the car being recovered from the water Monday afternoon. 

Authorities have not released the identities or conditions of the occupants. 

“We ask that you please keep the family and their loved ones in your prayers as our first responders continue recovery efforts,” Goncalves said.
