Authorities say the body of the 15-year-old boy missing after a driver crashed into the California Aqueduct near Patterson has been found.

California Highway Patrol confirmed Friday that the boy's body was found around 7 a.m. The body was found about two miles downstream from the crash scene, officials say.

The discovery comes days after the deadly crash where an SUV went off Interstate 5 and into the water near Sperry Avenue.

Crews initially pulled the SUV out of the water on Tuesday and found the driver dead inside.

At first, CHP believed the driver was the only occupant of the SUV. Officers later learned that a 15-year-old boy was also in the vehicle and was missing.

A search effort was launched, culminating in the recovery on Friday. 

The 15-year-old was identified as Aaron Ramirez and the driver was identified as Raul Ramirez, the CHP said. 

An investigation into the crash found Raul made an unsafe turn to the right while heading north on I-5 and entered the slow lane before leaving the road to the right shoulder, the CHP said. Officers said the vehicle continued down a grass embankment, crashed through two barbed-wire fences and into the aqueduct. 

It's unknown if DUI was a factor in the crash.
