Texting Radio Personality Falls Into Canal

British radio personality Laura Safe was texting when she fell into a canal and it was caught on tape. UPI reported that she walked straight into a canal in Birmingham and a CCTV tape caught it all.

This smitten newsreader was so engrossed in texting her boyfriend she walked straight into a freezing canal - and the hilarious episode was captured on camera.

CCTV footage shows Laura Safe - who joked that she should change her name to Unsafe - plunging into the icy water of the canal in Birmingham, England.

A passing businessman is seen trying to warn Miss Safe to look out, but by the time she takes her eyes off her phone, it is too late.

The heroic passer-by, 34-year-old Neil Edginton, rushed to Miss Safe's aid as she flailed about in the water, watched by open-mouthed diners at the city's Mailbox complex.



The Capital FM Breakfast Show newsreader emerged unharmed and merely embarrassed at falling into the water in front of so many onlookers.

'I thought ice on the canal was pavement because it looked dark in the corner of my eye,' the newsreader said.
