Authorities say the car went into the water a little after 6 a.m. Thursday after its 22-year-old driver apparently lost control of her car while reaching for a cell phone.
After the car became lodged in stilts under a home on the water, the driver was able to get out of the car and make it back to shore.
Onlookers say she came ashore still cradling her coffee cup.
