Our insured drove his car out onto a frozen lake and the vehicle fell through the ice. Would this be considered a collision loss or a comprehensive loss?

Also, the state Department of Natural Resources is requiring the insured to remove the car from the lake because the car is leaking oil into the water. Would there be coverage for a pollution liability claim against the insured and would this coverage pay for the removal of the vehicle?
