A group of young people drove an SUV onto a partially frozen part of the Potomac River in Loudoun County on Monday and became stuck after the ice gave way. No one was seriously hurt in the New Year’s Day incident, according to Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Department officials. The ice gave way and the SUV became “stuck near the shoreline,” the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. A major storm that is being called a “bomb cyclone” is expected to bring ice and snow from Florida to Maine. “If the ice did not support the animal, it will not take your weight,” said Loudoun County Fire Chief W. Keith Brower.
