Woman on hospital run nearly drives into the Downtown canal

A woman looking for an Indianapolis hospital where her daughter was having a baby nearly drove into the Downtown canal in the dark Thursday morning.

When Indianapolis firefighters arrived with their water rescue equipment they found a pickup truck stopped on the plaza with one tire dipping into the canal north of 10th Street.

The unidentified woman said her GPS directed her to the canal, a popular spot for relaxation and recreation. But there was no relaxing for the driver. She still had to find the hospital where her daughter was in labor.
