CARBONDALE, Ill. - A coroner says two college students who drowned in a car found submerged in a southern Illinois lake apparently died trying to escape the vehicle as it sank.
Jackson County Coroner Tom Kupferer tells WSIL-TV that three other occupants of the car managed to make their way to safety after the accident shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday at Cedar Lake. Those survivors told Kupferer that 20-year-old Marielle Carson and 21-year-old Latisha Ray survived the crash's impact. The coroner says the locations of their bodies in the car suggest they were trying to flee. - http://goo.gl/GE64B
