After locating the vehicle in the water, divers were called to the scene. Police said a man and a woman were found inside the vehicle and were pronounced dead.
Investigators said the vehicle had been traveling eastbound on Overholser Drive at a high rate of speed before leaving the roadway and entering the lake.

The incident remains under investigation. Authorities have not released the identities of the victims.
