In the drink

More fallout from Friday the 13th!

An apparently disturbed woman wandered onto a Lamborntown Road farm here in West Marlborough, started up a old farm truck and drove it into the pond. State police and firefighters showed up with all their "water rescue" paraphernalia, but she had already gotten out of the truck -- the pond isn't a deep one -- and wasn't hurt. She was fortunate not to encounter the snapping turtle who lives in the pond; I'm told he's so gigantic that the water level drops by six inches when he hauls himself up onto the bank.
