Driver ID'd in lake crash

A 22-year-old Cleveland woman was behind the wheel of the red Honda that went into Parksville Lake today.

Polk County authorities said late tonight the driver was Queana Wright-Ikpe. They didn't give an address.

Authorities believe the woman's death was an accident but the body has been sent to the state medical examiner's office in Nashville for an autopsy.

Dispatchers in Polk County got a call at 12:06 p.m. Sunday from a Decatur, Ala., man reporting a car upside down in the lake just east of Mac Point Beach on U.S. Highway 64.

Rescuers from Polk and Bradley counties recovered the car and retrieved the body.
