A car was pulled from the Rivière-des-Prairies, near Highway 15, after it plunged through the ice early Tuesday morning.
“Divers did a first look to locate the vehicle and luckily, there was no one inside,” said Jean-Pierre Brabant, a spokesperson with Montreal police.
Authorities were called around 12:20 a.m. about a car parked 10 metres from the shore on the icy river, just north of Cartierville.
As police and firefighters were arriving, the river cracked and the vehicle sank.

Brabant confirmed the grey Toyota Rav4 was reported stolen and last seen in the Côte-des-Neiges area.
“We’re going to go back to see if the owner has any information that he can add on so he can help us with the investigation,” said Brabant.
