LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say a body has been found in a burning car on the banks of the Los Angeles River.
Fire officials discovered the body after responding to a report of a car fire early Saturday in the riverbed near the 710 Freeway in the South Gate neighborhood.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Steve Rubino says due to the severity of the burns, authorities have been unable to identify the body.
The incident is under investigation.
