INDIANAPOLIS — Firefighters pulled a woman from her partially submerged SUV on the White River in Broad Ripple Monday morning.
The woman was not hurt but went to the hospital to be checked out as precaution.
According to IFD, a runner on the Monon Trail near 67th Street and Cornell Avenue spotted the SUV from the bridge over the icy river and called 911 shortly before 7 a.m. as the sun was rising.
The 33-year-old woman told firefighters she did not know how she mistook the boat ramp for a road. Firefighters believe she drove onto the river at some point overnight.
The car was found about 75 feet downstream from the ramp and submerged to its axles.
