Some people are calling it a miracle as an East Texas woman was found alive in a submerged Jeep.

The sheriff's department in Marion County, south of Longview, received a call from a fisherman about a Jeep underwater in Lake O' The Pines about 40 feet from a boat ramp.

A local wrecker service was called to pull the Jeep from the water. The workers discovered that a person was alive inside the vehicle.

The unidentified woman was rescued and taken to a nearby hospital. Her condition has not been released. The woman had been listed as missing by the Longview Police Department.
