Pickup Discovered In The Escambia River Near Bluff Springs
October 10, 2024
A pickup truck was discovered in the Escambia River Thursday morning.
The Toyota Tacoma pickup was partially submerged in several feet of water in the Bluff Springs Recreational Area, about 1.7 miles from Highway 29 just south of Century (map below).
The Century and Molino stations of Escambia County Fire Rescue responded about 8 a.m. and found no obvious signs on anyone in the vehicle. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office dive team later responded and confirmed that the pickup was not occupied.
The ECSO said the truck was later reported stolen by the owner.
The pickup was down an embankment at end of a dirt road in the Escambia River Water Management Area.

Does this hurt the truck?
Later reported stolen? Not before? Questions are on the table.
What Pat said.
I would like to see the rest of this story. Maybe it is me, but I do not understand the logic behind stealing a vehicle and then hiding it in a river. I do understand the logic of running a vehicle off a cliff and reporting it stolen if a person was behind on the payments. This has happened a lot. Not saying this is case here. Some people are just not very smart and could have stolen the vehicle then took a chance on getting caught destroying/hiding the evidence. Where is Paul Harvey when you need him?
Brilliant take pat
They used to have posts, fence, and reflectors down there but somebody thought it would be fun to destroy them.
Such people also steal STOP signs and then wonder when folks get killed.
You can only fish so close to the river before OOPS your fishing in the river !!!
Sounds suspicious to me….jmo
