Someone found this white, 1994 Chevy SUV resting on its passenger side Wednesday morning inside a channelized portion of Gold Creek near Cope Park, just upstream of the Irwin Street bridge.
The Juneau Police Department received a call at 8:17 a.m. about the car in the creek. Its hood was damaged and the driver’s side mirror was bent.
“There are footprints leading away from the vehicle,” Lt. David Campbell said in a voicemail.
How it got in there is a mystery, for now.
“We’ve been unable to get in touch with the transfer-pending owner,” Campbell said.
Later, Capitol Towing was working on pulling it out of the creek.
