Justin Yelen left his car parked overnight at a Hamburg restaurant and when he returned the next day, he found the vehicle completely covered in ice thanks to waves from Lake Erie.

Frank Balester, the owner of Frank’s Flatbed Service, was able to melt the ice around the tire and eventually pull the car out.
