Woman takes selfie on top of sinking car as people rush to rescue her

A woman who crashed while driving on a frozen river in Canada has made international headlines for a bizarre reason — she found time to take a selfie even as her car sank in the icy water.

The unnamed woman was photographed standing on top of her yellow car and taking pictures of herself as her vehicle continued to sink under the ice of the Rideau river in the suburb of Manotick last Sunday afternoon, according to news reports.

While locals in the area hurried to rescue her, the unfazed woman stood calmly on top of her fast-sinking car. A video shared online captured just the top of the car visible as people rushed to her aid with kayaks.

Ottawa Police praised the rescuers for their “quick-thinking” in a tweet. — ndtv.com
