Get one of these:
I highly recommend it, if you have the means.

How long had the car been there?
Reminds me of a situation between Leesville and Alexandria a decade or so ago. Work on drainage revealed a car in the water which had been there since WWII. The occupant had been a soldier stationed at (then) Camp Polk and had been listed as a deserter.

I have a window breaker on my keychain. If it happened to me, not sure I would even remember I had it.

Seeing the footprints on the window would give me nightmares for the rest of my life.

So carry a pocket knife and your drowning problems will be solved. You can also kick out a front windshield pretty easily

Damn, I grew up near there and fished Blind River as a youngster.

My town had a car slide into the Mississippi last winter at bar closing time. At daylight a passerby noticed hole in the ice and called for help. Two were strapped in the car, one was a short distance away under the ice and the fourth was a couple hundred yards down river, under the ice. Took weeks to find him.

Sorry for the late bump but I have found that these window breaker things are really ineffective. Had a guy have a seizure and crash his truck then knocked out laying on the gas while up against a wall, tried breaker I had and it was useless getting to get in his window to get him out.
Finally broke the window with a brick. I'm a pretty big guy and had a lot of force behind it and couldn't break it for anything. May be different if I were drowning but I dont trust them now

Same dynamic I remember from an agricultural pond in Central Mississippi from the '90s: they drained the pond for maintenance and found a late '60s model car with the remains of a (once) young guy in it who'd been missing since the late '60s. No reason to believe foul play was involved. (i.e. his skull wasn't in the trunk)

Soneone witnessed it so it wasnt too long. They couldnt even idenify the bodies at first bc they were so full of mud
