Channel 2 Action News has learned that a woman who drove her vehicle off Georgia 400 into a shallow portion of Lake Lanier will be charged.

The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office says Samantha Silverman drove her vehicle down an embankment between exits 15 and 16 near Bald Ridge and Pilgrim Mill and into a lake.
 
The sheriff's office posted on its Facebook page a photo of the vehicle in shallow water with people standing beside it.
