  • A group of ice skaters captured a car driving across a frozen canal.

  • The videos showed the car after it appeared to have fallen into the water.

  • The clips of the incident went up on social media.

A video of a car driving across a frozen canal before falling into the water began to rack up millions of views.

A group of people are on the ice. They step to the side of the road to avoid the car. An onlooker commented on how ballsy it was.

The viewers grew nervous as the car passed them. A voice asked if he knew it was frozen down there. There was an image of a car that had crashed. The poster said that they didn't know that it was frozen. The video has been watched over 13 million times.

The driver said she had no idea she wasn't on a road. It got over 13 million views and 8000 comments.

Bowling asked her to elaborate on the incident after she responded to one comment.

She drove down across the parking lot, through the grass, down the steep hill, and onto the canal, which is usually water. She said that anyone from Indianapolis knows that that's water.

The south side of the canal is where the warm water is pumped.

The group raced toward the car to help, and a man named "Jacob" jumped in and tried to pull her out of her window, while another person jumped in to help. The woman was brought into a hotel by people.

Jacob was invited to their apartment by the guy who helped pull them out of the water. We spoke to the police. When we took our skates off, we were just in our socks.

Bowling said they watched them fish the car out of the canal. They made sure that nobody else was in there. In a video that appears to show this moment, onlookers describe the car as "just spinning like a disco ball" as it is lifted from the water.

One user commented that the ice held the car. We were saying that. Bowling said that they were being cautious on skates. The path she believed the driver traveled was shown to viewers.

Bowling did not reply immediately.

Mason Brauchla posted a picture of what appears to be another angle of the incident and it went viral.

According to KRON-TV, Brauchla lives next to the canal. He told the outlet that he saw headlights when he took out the trash.

Brauchla said that he couldn't believe what he was seeing. The ice was supporting their car for a long time. They were going at least 30 mph. I wasn't sure what to think.

The fire department responded to reports of a car going into a canal in Indianapolis when the temperature was 10 degrees.

According to the outlet, a woman named Biankia Gleason was arrested and accused of driving under the influence after she told firefighters her gps had taken her to the canal.

The National Weather Service called it a "once-in-a- generation storm" over the holiday weekend. At least 50 people have died and thousands of travelers have been stranded.
