A woman stood atop her sinking car taking a selfie while bystanders rushed to help her. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media.
A woman while driving in the outskirts of Ottawa, Canada crashed her car on a frozen river. However, that is not the reason why she is trending on social media. The unidentified woman stood atop her sinking yellow sedan in the Rideau River and she was captured clicking selfies on the car’s roof. She did this while people nearby rushed to the spot to help her. Her nonchalance has left netizens totally miffed. The incident took place in the suburb of Manotick on Sunday afternoon. She captured the moment with a selfie while people hurried and worried to help her. pic.twitter.com/ML6zWlSa9m She drove on the river on purpose, putting herself and others at risk. Unbelievably. This person should pay for the emergency services required for this call, environmental charges due to car (gas, oil etc) in water, vehicle removal and insurance not covering anything. Including reimbursement for the car. Or pure selfishness by a young woman who purposely drove her car into a River of ice and needlessly put EMS workers at risk to save her while dumping gasoline into fresh water Wow! .... just ... wow! pic.twitter.com/ttMD5arlf8 Any time you are in a dangerous situation, you should not be taking selfies or doing anything distracting. You should be 100% focused on being safe. Everything this person did: drive fast on river, be oblivious to danger, be inconsiderate to those trying to help... Just ignorant This evening a car went through the ice in the south end of Ottawa. Thankfully no injuries and an amazing job by local residents saving the driver by using a kayak and quick safe thinking. Another reminder that "No Ice Is Safe Ice". Please use extreme caution this winter season! pic.twitter.com/zpWdeyYzps
