    Apparently what I heard when I was taking pictures of it, he hit a bollard, and swerved and went into the ice, however it is up on a large curb and he was quite far in on the ice, so it must have held up for a while. But there could have been more factors over him being an older man.

    Does anyone know if the unfortunate driver was taken ill before the accident, or if he was hurt?

    People amused by this? Strange to say the least.

    So.... does anyone actually know what happened the driver?
    Was he/she injured? Did the car skid on ice or was the driver ill or incapacitated before the car went into the water?
