The Fort Worth Police Department is investigating the death of a woman who intentionally drove into a pond.

At 12:54pm, Fort Worth police officers responded to an overdose of an adult woman at a house in the 700 block of Granite Ridge Drive. A crisis intervention team responded to assist with the situation.

Officers arrived on scene and were informed that the female had left in a vehicle. They immediately began canvassing the area in an attempt to locate her. The woman and her vehicle were spotted sitting along the shoreline of a small pond in the neighborhood.

Once the woman spotted officers, she purposely drove her vehicle off a ravine and down into a body of water.

At least three Fort Worth officers shed their gear and jumped into the water to save her from the sinking vehicle, but their efforts were unsuccessful. Two civilians in a private boat also jumped in to help.

Numerous Fort Worth FD firefighters and dive rescue teams were called to assist with the water rescue. CareFlite was called to the scene, but later disregarded before they landed.

The situation transitioned into a recovery operation. A heavy duty wrecker was called to the scene and removed the submerged vehicle. The woman’s body was located inside.

Fort Worth PD continues to investigate this incident.
