| The body of a Harrisville man, Herbert Anderson, 32, was discovered Saturday evening, up side down in his vehicle which landed in the Hughes River. Anderson, known to have a diabetic problem, drove into the river about one mile west of Smithville on State Route 47.
The accident was reported about 5 p.m.
Emergency workers said about 6" of the tires on his vehicle were visible when they arrived. The Smithville VFD responded with other emergency services and law enforcement from Harrisville.
