Ottawa Police charged the woman with one count of dangerous operation of a vehicle after she was rescued.

The tweet was captioned:"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.The police also issued a press release on the incident and explained that the woman had been charged with"one count of Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle under the Criminal Code of Canada."

It is not clear when the driver drove out onto the ice but camera footage from the houses alongside the river showed a yellow car, believed to be the driver's, speeding down the frozen river. A full statement from the police also noted the driver was the lone occupant and she suffered no injuries. As the car is still in the river, authorities have cautioned against curious onlookers stepping out onto the frozen ice to view the car. They said"this portion of the river is thought to be thin compared to others" and poses a danger to others.
