Woman takes selfie on top of sinking car as people rush to rescue her
A woman who crashed while driving on a frozen river in Canada has made international headlines for a bizarre reason — she found time to take a selfie even as her car sank in the icy water.
The unnamed woman was photographed standing on top of her yellow car and taking pictures of herself as her vehicle continued to sink under the ice of the Rideau river in the suburb of Manotick last Sunday afternoon, according to news reports.
While locals in the area hurried to rescue her, the unfazed woman stood calmly on top of her fast-sinking car. A video shared online captured just the top of the car visible as people rushed to her aid with kayaks.
Ottawa Police praised the rescuers for their “quick-thinking” in a tweet. — ndtv.com

Loose goat evades pursuing police in Georgia
Police in Georgia are hot on the trail of a ‘hoofed Houdini’ — an escaped goat spotted running loose in Duluth.
The Duluth Police Department said on social media that numerous calls came on Tuesday, reporting a loose goat ‘trotting’ on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard ‘like it had somewhere very important to be.’
“Officers responded and attempted to corral the hoofed Houdini as it made its way toward Albion Farm Road, where it hopped a few fences and outsmarted us by disappearing into backyards,” the post said.
Police suspect the goat might be the same animal seen running loose recently in Suwanee.
“Apparently, it had unfinished business in Duluth,” police wrote.
