DHL van plunges into Edgewood lake

Cold day for a swim: Only the back corner of the roof on this DHL delivery van can be seen in the top photo, shortly after the driver plunged into a lake in Edgewood Monday afternoon. The driver, Neelye Harrison, 34, of Hernando, Miss., told police she was westbound on Forrest Lake Road and “messing with her scanner” when she struck the dam barrier and drove into the lake. Harrison swam to safety as emergency personnel were called to the scene where they remained until about 4:30 p.m. A local wrecker service pulled the van out of the lake. Harrison was charged with careless driving. Photo by Alan Smith.
