Indianapolis residents saw a bizarre sight on Christmas and it had nothing to do with Santa or his reindeer.

Quite the opposite as the Indianapolis Fire Department revealed a 33 year old woman drove down an embankment and then started driving on a frozen canal.  This appears to have gone on for a while as the department said she “continued north on the canal until she came to the dead end at 10th Street, where she turned around [and] headed south.”

Her luck eventually ran out as the vehicle broke through the ice and plunged into the water.  The fire department said several bystanders jumped into action and assisted the woman, who waited in the lobby of a nearby hotel after escaping from the vehicle.  She was then checked out by medics, before being transported to the hospital.

Needless to say, authorities had plenty of questions and she told firefighters her GPS took her onto the canal.  While the frozen waterway does have a road-like look, there appears to have been more going on.

According to CBS 42 and Fox 59, the woman was arrested for drunk driving.  There’s no immediate word on how intoxicated the woman was, but she was apparently clueless even after driving down the embankment and onto the canal.  The scene shocked onlooker Mason Brauchla, who told the Fox affiliate “I couldn’t believe … the ice was even supporting their car for that long.”  He went onto estimate the woman was driving approximately 30 mph (48 km/h).
