ADAMS COUNTY – An Adams County woman was found dead Sunday morning after her vehicle left the roadway and entered a pond in the Selma Estates area, according to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office.
Emergency crews were called around 10:19 a.m. after Adams County E-911 received a report of a vehicle in a pond near Selma Estates Road.
Deputies and first responders arrived and found the vehicle partially submerged.
