A water main broke on the west side of Detroit, causing the street to flood and then freeze as the city experiences the coldest weather of the year.

Members of the DPW have been working diligently for days to liberate the two cars, according to Paul Vanderplow of the Dearborn Heights Office of the Mayor. In order to de-ice the vehicles, they intend to have them pulled out and to a warming facility.
