CANADA
Woman Rescued After Driving Onto Frozen River, Taking Selfie
Witnesses say she was speeding along for as many as 18 miles before ice cracked
https://www.newser.com/stor...s-to-be-rescued.html
A woman drove onto a frozen river in Canada on Sunday, a move that perhaps predictably ended up with a rescue. Witnesses say the woman sped onto the frozen Rideau River near Ottawa, Ontario, and her vehicle cracked the ice. She climbed out and was seen taking smiling selfies atop the car, the National Post reports. Meanwhile, rescuers jumped into action, calling 911 and gathering ropes and other supplies. Two men tied a rope to a kayak, threw it to her from ice that had not yet cracked, and pulled her out of the river after she climbed on. The vehicle sunk and remains in the river, and the woman has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. She was not hurt.
She is believed to have driven a "considerable distance" on the ice before the incident, possibly more than 18 miles, the Ottawa Citizen reports. She was believed to be traveling nearly 40mph at times. "My kids were playing hockey on our outdoor rink, and it’s not something you’d expect to see, but suddenly a car just went racing by," says one local. "At first, my wife and I were in shock, and then we were concerned for the kids … our own kids and the other kids along the river. There’s a lot of rinks along the river."
 My local news station reported this early this morning. I am interested to see how this works out with her car insurance claim. 
I've seen a show called Ice Truckers or something close to that, I guess she has ambitions.........
Forrest Gump's' mama was right.

Must have been the X boyfriend's car !

lol !
Rideau revenge breakup, lol.
Acting out, manic, attention seeking, volatile, destructive, narcissistic.
He's unhappy that the car is wrecked, but relieved she's now in custody, in a safe place, sedated, mellowed.
' I'm just glad no one was hurt, we broke up weeks ago, I didn't know she had keys to my car ! '
Later, ' The Crown recommends a fine of five thousand dollars and an order of repayment to the car's owner. '
Don't worry, be happy.
From the 1697 play, The Mourning Bride, by William Congreve: ' Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned '
Snaps selfie, ' Ha ha ! I did this ! '

I'm not so surprised, impressed with subject matter nor with the outcome.
People drive on ice every year. Vehicles go through every year. And?

Back in the 80s I lived in mid-Michigan for 8 years and it seemed every spring there were news stories about people driving out onto the ice and getting stranded as huge chunks broke off, creating floes. These nitwits were sent a hefty bill from the rescue operations but it never seemed to deter them. Michiganders, does this still furnish good, clean entertainment for you guys or have people finally gotten the message?

Ice-racing and driving out to the ice-fishing huts are still a normal thing.

I have no doubt about that. I assume ice racing is coordinated and subject to certain rules like a cleared track. Not along a river with kids on ice rinks and through communities with homes, docks and other river related items without prior notice?
The fishing pole that lady had must have inside her pocket or a cell phone pic?
Is it standard practice to stand on top of your vehicle and take selfies while the vehicle sinks?
Personally, I think this lady should be in jail and have to pay for her vehicle (if not already paid for), pay for the recovery of her vehicle and pay for any environmental clean up associated with her actions causing her vehicle to be where it ended up. The same should apply to anyone out ice fishing with the vehicles that sink.
