Her car was found in a pond off I-71

Dive teams performed a water rescue in Fayette County Sunday night, but it turns-out the victim had already swam to shore.

Authorities say a woman is OK after driving her car off an interstate highway and into a freezing pond in central Ohio.

The woman drove off northbound Interstate 71 in Jeffersonville Sunday night. The car went through a fence and into a large pond.

The woman was able to get out of the car and swim to the side, eventually flagging down a motorist on I-71. She was treated at the scene.

The woman's name hasn't been released. Investigators were trying to determine what caused her to drive into the pond.
