WILMINGTON — A car was found in the West Branch of the AuSable River Wednesday. No one was inside it.

The car was found at approximately 7:30 a.m., according to New York State Police Troop B Public Information Officer Jennifer Fleishman. She said no one was injured.

That part of state Route 86 was closed for two-and-a-half hours, Fleishman said.

The Lake Placid Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene, roughly one mile from the monument, at 7:55 a.m. Monday with two trucks and 19 members. The department was back in service at 11:35 a.m.

No further information was available by press time.
