Overview
- Police received a report of a possible drowning and launched a water search at Crystal Lake after witnesses told reporters they heard children say a friend went under the dock and did not resurface.
- Waltham police dive teams and Newton police were on scene conducting underwater searches while officers said the investigation is ongoing and details remain limited.
- Authorities confirmed the driver connected to a related incident stayed at the scene but have not released identities or a medical outcome.
- Dive teams are standard for underwater recovery searches because they can search beneath docks and in deeper water where surface crews cannot see.
- Officials have not provided further information and said they will continue the probe; the public should expect updates from Newton police as the search and investigation proceed.
