(CNN)Three bodies were found Thursday in a submerged vehicle, authorities said, after a powerful storm dumped record rain amounts in Alabama.
The bodies of a 72-year-old man along with two women ages 53 and 42 were recovered from an SUV in Holt, Alabama, after stormwater receded, the Tuscaloosa Police Department said in a statement. Officials have not released their names.
"At this time, investigators with the Tuscaloosa VCU (Violent Crimes Unit) believe the vehicle became disabled and sank in floodwaters from the storm Tuesday night," police said in a Facebook post.
A series of dangerous storm swept through parts of the South earlier this week, spurring tornadoes across Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
