Woman crashes car through frozen river and stops to shoot selfies as it sinks beneath her feet
I don’t think we’ve had a stupid-selfie post for a while, but here’s a good one. A woman who has not been publicly identified had her vehicle meet a chilling end when she chose to drive across a frozen river in Ottawa, Canada. As she drove across, she hit a weak spot in the ice that caused her car to crash through its surface. While onlookers were figuring out how to get her out of there safely, she climbed onto the car’s roof to shoot a selfie while it began to sink beneath her feet.
While I’ll bet it made for a great photo on her Instagram feed, I’m not sure it was the wisest of decisions. Of course, driving over a frozen lake doesn’t really indicate the possession of much wisdom in the first place.

Stop sharing your vaccination card photos or face identity theft
When they’re super-excited about something, many people post about it on social media. So naturally, people have been sharing the news about their COVID-19 shots.
