Woman drives into river
A woman rams a police car on the Gold Coast before driving into the river and trying to swim away. Nine News
They allege she reversed into a patrol car and sped off down a boat ramp, leaving her ute bobbing in the Pimpama River and a none-too-happy dog in the tray of the vehicle.
Police had to strip off and enter the water and with the help of a local boatie got the woman back to shore.
She was wearing only her bra and undies when marched in handcuffs to a waiting paddy wagon.
"Three or four police officers swam out in the river," Senior Sergeant Greg Brake told the Seven Network.
"We attempted to commandeer several boats. One local resident was able to assist us with a boat and we were eventually able to recover the woman from the water."
Police are expected to charge the woman on Friday.
