The man's body was pulled from the pit shortly before noon with the help of a remote-operated submersible that assisted state conservation divers.
CAPE SANDY, Ind. — Divers recovered the body of a driver on Wednesday, the day after his dump truck plunged hundreds of feet into a water-filled pit at a southern Indiana quarry.
The divers entered the truck and recovered his body in between 20 and 30 feet of water, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources’ law enforcement division said. His name was withheld pending notification of relatives. A Mulzer employee was operating the truck weighing several tons near the edge of the pit when it slipped over the edge and plunged several hundred feet into the water, the state agency said.
