The Weslaco Fire Department used its dive team Saturday to search for a possible body in a canal.
A Chevrolet Lumina was reportedly found underwater in a canal Saturday afternoon.
The canal is located off Mile 6 1/2 West heading west on Frontage Road in Weslaco.
The car was pulled from the canal.
No one was found inside.
As a precaution firefighters searched the canal on rescue boats, using sonar radar and a piece of equipment they drag along the bottom of bodies of water.
The Department of Public Safety is reportedly working this case and will now impound the car.
A DPS spokesman said the driver of the car fled.
