LONG PRAIRIE, Minn. (KNSI) A rural Burtrum man might be looking for a new set of wheels after losing his car in an unusal way.

The Todd County Sheriff's Office received a call Monday afternoon on a report of a damaged vehicle at the Mound Lake Public Access in Grey Eagle Township.

Joseph Muellner told deputies he got out of his car while it was running. The car began rolling downhill toward the water, and ended up totally sumberged in the lake.

The sheriff's office says the 2010 Nissan Altima is a total loss.
