GORHAM, Maine — Police say a body has been found in a Maine river at a spot where a car crashed and overturned into the water.

The Portland Press Herald reports it was also not immediately clear why the car crashed into the river. An employee of a moving and storage company called in the crash at about 6:30 a.m.

Investigators, including divers, were working at the scene Thursday morning.
