A body recovered after a tractor-trailer was found submerged in Mirror Lake was identified Monday as Timothy Green, 39, of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, the Wisconsin State Patrol said in a news release.

A second body, that of a female, was recovered in the Sauk County lake Monday and an autopsy was planned Tuesday to identify her, the State Patrol said.

On Sunday morning, a damaged guardrail was discovered on I-90/94 eastbound just north of the Mirror Lake bridge. Upon further investigation, a tractor-trailer was found submerged in the lake.

All eastbound lanes of I-90/94 in the area were closed Sunday morning and afternoon while emergency response crews worked through the day to recover the semi.

Green's body was found Sunday evening, but recovery operations had to be suspended until Monday because of poor visibility and weather conditions.

Green was the driver of the vehicle, the State Patrol said.
