The body of an unidentified woman has been recovered from a car submerged in a lake in Deerfield Beach, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.

A Century Village resident reported seeing a portion of the car on the surface of the lake near the Upminster K building at 424 S. Century Blvd. about 7 p.m. Thursday.

Broward Sheriff’s deputies and divers retrieved the woman's body from the sunken Toyota Corolla.

This is at least the second time in recent weeks in which a body has been found in a submerged car in Deerfield Beach. On Aug. 26, a body was pulled from a car that a fisherman noticed was beneath about 15 feet of water on the west side of the 1500 block of Powerline Road. The identity of that person is not yet known.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Ghostly, sunken cars lie in South Florida's canals and lakes, hiding lost lives — sometimes for decades.

Broward Sheriff's detectives are investigating two recent cases of dead people recovered from submerged cars in Deerfield Beach: One on a Thursday night from a waterway in Century Village and another in August from a lake along Powerline Road.

While such crashes are rare, they occur most often during clear days on dry, rural roads, records show. Between 2011 and 2016, there were 168 water-related deaths from crashes in the state, according to a South Florida Sun Sentinel analysis of Florida Department of Transportation data. Bad drivers and alcohol were factors in about a quarter of the cases.
