A woman jumped in the East River after her car erupted in flames on the FDR Drive in Manhattan Sunday morning.
The unidentified 23-year-old was driving her sedan northbound on the parkway when she hit a barrier at East 102 Street just before 6:30 a.m., according to the NYPD.
The vehicle burst into flames, and the woman managed to escape and plunged into the 45 degree waters, police said.

It was not immediately clear if she was on fire herself and made the desperate leap to extinguish the flames.
She was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in stable condition, police said.
An investigation was ongoing.
