(Fort Dodge, IA) -- There was a recuse on the Des Moines River this weekend after a van was reported in the water. The Fort Dodge Water Rescue team says the driver was shoulder-deep and trapped inside when they got to the van. They were able to force the door and wedge it open with the rescue boat and pull the driver into the boat. They were taken to the hospital with no other information available on the person's condition or how the van ended up in the river.
