Recovery mission: Vehicle parked along Hoan Bridge prompts Dive Team response

MILWAUKEE -- A Dive Response Team was called out to the Hoan Bridge early Monday morning, January 8th after a U-Haul was spotted parked on the shoulder.

A Wisconsin Department of Transportation camera captured a driver parking the U-Haul on the bridge just before 4:00 a.m.

When police and firefighters arrived on scene, the U-Haul was running -- and a man's winter coat was found inside.

According to officials, the DOT camera footage did not show a driver walk away -- or another motorist come pick up the driver.

Search and rescue efforts were underway for about two hours -- but were ultimately unsuccessful. This is now a recovery mission.
