Police say the woman’s vehicle ended up on the ice of a retention pond on the south side of 40th St and she apparently blacked out after suffering a head injury.

A Good Samaritan went to the vehicle and helped the woman get off the ice. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital to be checked for her head injury and sore ribs.

Police say the driver of the truck who hit the car said he tried to stop for the red light but slid into the intersection. He was ticketed for failure to drive with due care.
