Lost dog man in key-lock metly ice car-plunge nightmare

Sea Ice
Ice: has a tendency to melt

A man's search for his lost dog ended in funny disaster on Tuesday, as he managed to lose a borrowed car in a frozen river.

Things started to go wrong when Nathan Seely drove the Buick onto the frozen surface of Black River, in Port Huron, Michigan. The river is often used by cars and snowmobiles when iced over in winter, local police said.

Unfortunately for Seely, he managed to lock his keys inside the car.

This would have been frustrating enough, but the problem was compounded by the fact that the engine was still running. E was forced to watch as the heat from the engine slowly melted the ice beneath the car, sending it crashing through into the river.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the car wasn't even his – it was on loan from a local garage while his own car was in for repairs.

Seely now has a deadline to get the car out of the river, or he could face a fine.

Police divers said they haven't yet been asked to help remove the car, according to the Port Huron Times Herald. They're quite experienced at retrieving vehicles from the river, St. Clair County Sheriff's Lt. Matt Paulus noted. 'We usually get a couple a year. We already had two snowmobiles go in last week,' he told the Detroit Free Press.

Reports do not indicate whether Seely ever found his dog.
