I am sad to report that the woman whose car ran into the north lake at Twin Lakes Park in Highlands North subdivision in north Dallas, just west of Richardson, TX near Coit and Campbell, has died.
I have heard that citizens tried to rush into the water to save her, but frigid water drove them back. Rescue workers, too, felt the onset of hypothermia as they broke the window and attempted to get the woman out.
There were no signs of skid marks on the street to indicate that the brakes were applied. I still wonder if it's another case of the accelerator getting caught on the floormat or something. I'm sure it will be investigated.
Things like this are always sad. We had a memorial today for our 6th law enforcement officer to be killed in the line of duty. Not a good way to start the new year.
This seems incredibly sad -- all the best to the family and friends.
