A Canadian driver took an unexpected swim on Thursday thanks to her phone.
 
The driver said she was following her GPS instructions and ended up driving down a boat launch ramp into a lake. She was able to roll down her window and swim to shore. 
 
A tow truck pulled the woman's vehicle out of the lake the next morning.
 
Police are blaming the incident on the foggy weather and bad directions from the GPS.
