WAYNE COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) – A car found submerged in water along I-94 in Wayne County early Wednesday was empty when it was finally removed, despite an occupant's claims that someone else was in the vehicle.
What we know:
According to Michigan State Police, callers reported a crash on eastbound I-94 near Ecorse at 3:40 a.m. When troopers arrived, they found a car that was submerged in water near the freeway after crashing into a pole.
A 25-year-old Newport woman who was in the area told police that her boyfriend was in the car when she got out. Police noted that it appeared that the woman was intoxicated. 
"This driver was very lucky that other drivers noticed debris from her crash," said MSP F/Lt. Mike Shaw. "Her vehicle was far enough in the wood line and became submerged in the ditch and would have been very difficult to see from the roadway."
MSP troopers searched the area but did not find another person. The Downriver Mutual Aid Dive Team was requested to help search and remove the car from the water. The car was empty, and no one was found in the water.
What’s next:
Police said no one else was in the vehicle. The woman, who police believe was driving drunk, was arrested pending toxicology results. 
"The message is clear, do not drive impaired," Shaw said.
