A Peachtree City public works truck was submerged in Lake Peachtree Wednesday morning but it has been pulled out of the water and no one was injured.

Reports indicated that the incident took place near Drake Field. First responders arrived on scene and found no injuries, and the vehicle was soon removed.

Lake Peachtree and Drake Field remain open, according to a city official.

A spokesman for the Peachtree City Police Department said the truck was unoccupied when it entered the water. There is no need for any further investigation by police.

      Would a public flogging be in order? Sounds like someone forgot to put the vehicle in park to me. I doubt it’s anything the “paper” even had an interest in finding out about.

Taxpayer money paid for the equipment. Do we not at least have a right to know how this will be avoided in the future? Certainly the responsibility must fall somewhere within city works.
