An overturned ATV was found in a small pond on the south end of Effingham.

The Effingham County Dive Rescue Team was called to assist the Effingham County Sheriff's Department just south of Jaycee Avenue near the railroad overpass just west of Banker Street at 6:23am Thursday.

Divers conducted a search of the area around the recovered four-wheeler after it was removed from the water. Divers did not locate any victims or further debris in the water. Public safety personnel were at the scene for approximately an hour and 30 minutes.

The matter is still under investigation by the Sheriff's Department.
