Whoops, but no Harm
An elderly motorist drove a car to the end of a pier at Montrose Harbor late Tuesday, leaving the car teetering over the edge, a Chicago Fire Department spokesman said.
The driver, an elderly woman, was safely removed from the Volkwagen Jetta and didn't fall into the 36-degree lake water, authorities said.
The Jetta was similarly rescued without plunging into the harbor, Fire Department spokesman
We had no idea you could still get out that far on the piers. We'll have to remember that next time we go smelting.

holy cow, how many times are we going to here 700XRAY on the air tonight. okay, yur the XO now
Reminds me of the story about ten years ago when a old guy went driving on the bike path on lake shore drive and ran over a couple pedestrians. Damm GPS!!!
Lucky lady.
Are there parking meters out there? Rahm could use the ca$h.
Lady was obviously coming down here to Tampa for the winter, on the only route she knows, U.S. 41. Her GPS, bought by her grandkids told her to "turn left NOW, and she did."
I want me meet the asshole who told that poor old lady that was the new road to the State of Michigan.
Looks like Tom Crusie driving the Porsche in the movie "Risky Business".

Well you are obviously on 3rd watch so why dont you walk into his office and ask him yourself..But we all know you dont have the balls to do that.
Reminds me of the time that a certain retired helicopter pilot drove a squad car into the wather along the beach.

That might not be a bad idea. Wildings, boat accidents, crowd gathering because of a problem could be spotted. Have them monitored not only be Emergency Management but also by the Park District.
How about an Emergency Phone?
And why does this lady have a DL..this would be the same lady who puts the car in drive and crashes threw a starbucks or something and kills someone.
Didnt I see this in the movie Risky Business? Joel?
Actually, the so-called pier is a portion of an entrance ramp to the proposed Richard M. Daley Memorial Bridge across Lake Michigan to Benton Harbor. It will be the world's longest bridge and will be designated as Interstate 96, the 4-lane highway continuing directly on to Detroit.
Daley realized that the construction of the I-96 suspension bridge would be a steal at only about $13,000,000,000,000,000.00 ($13 QUADRILLION dollars). The federal government will kick in $20 million. No-bid contracts have already been finalized with Walsh Construction and Vanecko Enterprises for completion set for October, 2029.

Yea ago troll! They are so low on sergeants and blue shirts go away!
Can you photoshop that airport sgt at the helm of the jetta?
grandma?
Thats no easy feat. One has to negotiate the Bird Sanctuary, sand drifts,& narrow pathways. Me thinks granny had alterior motives and bailed at the end.
That pier has a steel-cable handrail running down the middle. Either side is pretty narrow. You'd have to be very determined to get to the end of that pier, even in a compact car!

"Who's da U-boat commander?"
Grannies teeth fell out! And she was searching for them on floor when this happened ! Just a guess
The Chicago version of the Bridge to no where!
