Authorities have identified a 47-year-old woman who drowned as her car sunk into a retention pond Friday night after she unsuccessfully tried to save the vehicle from rising water.
Cassandra Bryant, of the 1400 block of Blue Bell in north Harris County, was southbound on the North Freeway service road around 10 p.m. when rising water prompted her to maneuver the car inadvertently into the pond.

An awfully crappy car to lose one’s life over.
Priorities. Some know what they are.
It’s sad that she died. It’s especially sad that she died for a crummy Cavalier.
An avoidable tragedy.
“Uh, Mary Jo refused the leave the cah.”
“Uh, Mary Jo refused the leave the cah.”
Darwin Award finalist. Both for her priorities and for driving a Cavalier.
Did the car have any bumper stickers? Might be interesting.
I know what you’re thinking. She was.
Hey, she ‘bought American’. . .won’t day she died for it; but whatever. Perhaps she had some wine earlier; and again; how it is, we too often, cannot recognize the ‘worst’ when we are so confronted. Bad enough, Obama; but one’s car-in-retention-pond does challenge ‘reason’.

Darwin Award nominee!
How stupid is it to try to save YOUR CAR??? Good grief. I know people rely on them for their livelihoods, but for their LIVES??? Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Prayers for her family and friends.
My first thought when reading headline: it was the 'paper work' to get this car and the 'deal', that she could not bear to have so wasted. . .

Houston PING (sorry about the erroneoud ping earlier this morning, although Ronny Dio was getting medical treatment in Houston)
Oh you folks all have it wrong. I’m surprised at you.
She was convinced Obama was going to bail her out. You don’t have to be concerned about anything today. Personal responsibility to take care of yourself? Surely you jest...
And of course, she would have been safe is she had the latest model Muslim produced vehicle too. Bwa ha ha ha ha...
That makes a little more sense.
Sad story, regardless of how foolish she was in attempting to “save” her car in the first place. People sometimes get very confused in crisis situations.
