A life-threatening moment might not be the best time for taking a selfie.

Security camera footage spotted the woman driving a yellow sedan across the frozen Rideau River at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday near Manotick, Ontario, a town located just south of Ottawa.

The car eventually broke through the ice, forcing the driver to stand on top of her car as it sank into the frigid waters. Along with one of his neighbors, King jumped into action to help rescue the driver. They quickly got a rope and a kayak, and the driver was able to hop into the boat before the car was completely submerged.

However, before the woman was pulled to safety, she captured the moment with a selfie. King adds that the driver told him that she was glad she had driven her car out on the ice.

Family Outraged With Police Response to CT Woman Found Dead After Dating App MeetupAside from their anguish from losing a daughter and a sister, the family of Lauren Smith-Fields is outraged and disgusted at how they say the Bridgeport Police Department has investigated the mysterious death of the 23-year-old. I’m sure she was one of the ones calling for defunding the police. You can’t have it both ways. Another disregard for black life, by “law enforcement”. Federal investigation needed, if local police departments remain bias & incompetent in regards to black life.
