WINDSOR, Colo. (AP) - A woman whose car overturned and slid into the water of an icy pond in Windsor is crediting a passer-by with helping get her to safety.

A car driven by 22-year-old Kimberly Garcia of Evans ended up upside-down in the pond off Colorado 257 near the entrance of the Kodak/Carestream campus Thursday evening. The passenger side of her car was submerged.

Garcia tells local media in Denver she slipped through her car's back window, which was broken, so she could get some air. Meanwhile, a man who caught a glimpse of a wheel sticking up from the ice pulled over and entered knee-deep water to help get Garcia to dry land.

Garcia says that if the man hadn't come to help save her, she might not have made it.
