A 67-year-old Anoka County woman spent Friday night in her car, which was partly submerged in a Plymouth pond in freezing weather, before being rescued Saturday afternoon, police said Saturday.
The woman, who had been reported missing by her husband Friday night to the Centennial Lakes Police Department in Centerville, was taken briefly to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale and released Saturday afternoon. Her name was not released.
Her car apparently had crossed three lanes of traffic, gone over a boulevard and crashed through a chain-link fence before ending up in the pond near 10th Avenue and Revere Lane, where she was spotted by a passing bicyclist shortly after 12:30 p.m. Saturday, more than 17 hours after she crashed.
Plymouth police and fire and the Hennepin County sheriff's water patrol responded and the woman was retrieved from the car in the pond, which had been obscured by brush from passing vehicles and nearby houses, said Plymouth Police Sgt. Joe Gebhardt.

People PLEASE HEAR ME, when a family member of yours goes missing on their way to or from a location, and that family member has NEVER once in their lives gone missing for any length of time, and it's uncharateristic of them to be doing it, PLEASE, FOLLOW THE ROUTE THEY WOULD HAVE USED. This happens so many times I just can't tell you, or be persistent enough telling you. Go on foot, look over embankments, over guardrails, check any water ways along the route. Even if you think there wouldn't be any way in the world a car could pass over a guardrail that doesn't look disturbed, look anyway, because you would be amazed just how much this happens.
