Homeowner rescues driver from pond

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis police say a woman was rescued early Thursday morning after she drove her car into a pond on the city’s northwest side.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called to 62nd and Coffman Road around 2:20 a.m. That’s just west of Georgetown Road.

Officers say the woman lost control of her vehicle and drove into the pond. A homeowner nearby went into the water and helped pull the driver to safety after the woman broke her car window.

The driver was taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries.
