It was nothing short of a miracle north of here on Friday when a missing woman was found alive in a Jeep that was nearly completely submerged in a lake in Marion County. The Longview News- Journal is reporting that the woman had been reported missing to the Longview Police Department. According to the report, a fisherman at Lake 0' the Pines - 105 miles north of Jasper - called 911 to report seeing just the top of a vehicle above the water about 45 feet from a boat ramp. The report said deputies and a wrecker responded and just as they were preparing to pull the vehicle back to shore, they realized a person was inside and moving around. She was removed from the Jeep and taken to a hospital. Meanwhile, her name has not been released.
