A pickup rolled into a North Little Rock lake early Thursday after the driver stopped to to take a photo.

It happened about 7 a.m. at the southeast corner of Lake No. 1 off Waterside Drive in the Lakewood neighborhood.

The driver said he thought he had put his Toyota Tacoma in park when he got out to take a photo of fog coming off the lake, but he apparently hadn't. The truck rolled down an embankment and into the water.

No one was injured.

The driver, who had his camera in hand while waiting for a tow truck, said he didn't get a chance to take the lake photo.
