On its Facebook page, the Venice Police Department posted images of the aftermath and surveillance video of the car entering the water.

By the time Venice firefighters arrived, about eight inches of the vehicle remained above the water. The woman was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition.

Fire Lt. Derek Lowery says the woman had apparently been trying to turn into the park and drove down the boat ramp by accident.
