Emergency crews are searching Coventry Lake and have called in a drone to help after a vehicle went into the water near the boat launch this afternoon.

Neighbors report that fire truck, police cars and an ambulance have assembled along the lake, where the search began around 12:20 p.m.

It’s unclear how the vehicle got into the water or how many people were inside. Firefighters began setting up a dive team soon after the first report came in, and called for a drone from Manchester to help with the search.
