The Virginia State Police Search & Recovery Team recovered both a vehicle and its passenger from the Russell Fork River yesterday afternoon in Buchanan County. On Wednesday, a car was driving on Helen Henderson Highway in the Davenport area, when it came upon water flooding the highway. As the driver tried to drive through the water, the car began to float. The driver was able to escape, but the passenger was swept away with the vehicle into the Russell Fork River. Search efforts continued through the night Wednesday to find the vehicle and passenger. By mid-morning yesterday, the river had receded enough for divers to locate the vehicle. The missing passenger, 60-year-old Randy O’Quinn, was found deceased inside the car.
