Deputies employed the use of a local wrecker service to pull the Jeep from the water which according to the Lake of the Pines website, includes about 18,700 acres of water.

Multiple crew were called in which included the original wrecker service, the fisherman who first spotted the submerged Jeep and Marion County deputies, as the woman was safely rescued from the vehicle.
