FRESNO, CA (KMJ) – A recovery operation is planned for early Thursday morning to extract a car that landed in the Kings River back in august.
Fresno Sheriff’s Search and Rescue team (SAR) will work with members of the California Highway Patrol to recover two bodies inside the wreckage of a Ford SUV in the Kings River.
The bodies are believed to be the remains of two Chinese nationals living in San Diego.
31-year old Yinan Wang and his wife 30-year old Jie Song were missing since early August, last seen in Sequoia National Park.
The Sheriff’s Office says their vehicle will stay in the water to be recovered at the same time as the car driven by two Thai students, whose bodies were recovered last month.
It was during last month’s recovery that a SAR deputy saw the white Ford’s license plate in the bushes and later a white vehicle was seen submerged by horseshoe bend, downstream from where the Thai Student’s car had landed.
