POULSBO — An 80-year-old Bainbridge Island woman drove her car into Liberty Bay off Lemolo Drive, but was able to walk away.

A vehicle in the water was reported off Lemolo Drive near Johnson Way at 1:15 p.m. Thursday. The woman was not injured, and declined to be transported to the hospital via ambulance, according to Jody Matson, spokesperson for Poulsbo Fire. The cause of her one-car collision is unknown at this time.

A Bainbridge Island police officer said two cars were heading south. The driver in the rear called 9-1-1 to report the other car had “turned off” the road and was in the water.
