Winter waves freeze car in place along Lake Erie
A car crew was able to free the car from its ice shield and tow it away.
Lenny Iwanenko, of Lake Erie Towing & Recovery, said it took 350 pounds of calcium flake and a towing apparatus get the car out.
"First I've encountered in 28 years of being in an industry for something of that magnitude," he said.

Iwanenko said his company will defrost the car, give it a wash, and likely return it to its owner with little to no damage.
