Water main break leaves car covered in ice

A car in Manhattan was trapped in a thick layer of ice from bumper to bumper like an ice sculpture. A private water service line ruptured under the street.



All the water came up and caused a puddle. The cars going back and forth splashed the water onto parked cars. One car got the worst of it.

To make matters worse, the owner of the car barely touched the back window and it collapsed.

Crews eventually managed to steam the car out of its ice cube encasing.
