WARNING! If you do it the way they show in the video, you run the risk of stealth killing him instead of pushing him and then have to replay the whole mission since it auto saves.

just dont press B when behind him. found it best to push from the front a few times until he starts to box you. then block his punches with A button and draw him close to the water. As soon as hes facing you with his back to the water, knock the bitch out. he will fall straight in

The above solutions are tricky, to say the least.
The easiest way I found to obtain the achievement is to bump into his car making him stop (placing my car in front of his), take him out of the car and then just push him into the water with the melee (B) attack. The guy do not fight back neither runs away so it is extremely easy to do.

As DJ RJester wrote "you have you to push him from the front and NOT the back. Pushing from the back is an instant kill, if he tries to run then pull your gun out and put away again when he's standing still"

On the first mission, near the end, on the ice lake:
Hit his car on the back side so he spins sideways. With his car sideways on your front bumper drive him into the water. Note: your car goes very slow while pushing his car sideways. This might take a few tries so reload checkpoint if you get past the ice part.

I unlocked this achievement just out of nowhere
I was chasing the car but I crashed in to a tree and my engine broke, so I restarted from last checkpoint
After the loading screen, The achievement just popped out of nowhere

Glitched? Maybe some debris hit his car and he drove into the water. Anyhow, nice one!

I tried this a number of time and the achievement didn't pop it only worked when I got the guy out of the car and pushed him in. if it's not popping for you try doing that.

I could never push his car into the water so I just did my best to drive in front of his car and stop. This caused him to stop. I got out of my car and went over to his car and hit Y to pull him out. Once I pulled him out I pressed B to push him. You can push him into the water this way but I wasn't able to do that either. After I pushed him a few times he stopped running and we started to box. I ran over to the edge of the water then turned around so that he was now facing the water. Now I simple finished the boxing sequence by pressing B 3 times which knocked him backwards into the water. If you are having trouble getting his car into the water try doing the push/box him into the water method.

Complete the first story mission "Witness - Frozen Memories" and eliminate the key witness. During the car chase, you'll drive over a frozen lake with many stretches of open water that you'll zig zag through. Use your car to force the witness' car into the water, while avoiding following him in. You'll get the Arctic Grave trophy immediately upon sending the witness into the water and the What Witness? trophy at the end of the mission. Note that some have reported that forcing the witness' car into the water did not cause the trophy to pop for them. I didn't have this trouble but you can also try forcing the witness' car to stop by getting in front of him, pulling him out and pushing him into the water while on foot.

If you fall into the water with the cars it don't matter you just have to run on foot to the end the mission.

In the witness task, you will need to get rid of the main witness. When he leaves you, he will go out onto the ice. There are areas of water on the ice, and you need to push it into them. If you couldn’t push him over and he drove out onto the road, then dress him up yourself and try again.

How can you push a car into the water: you need to come level with him (to the right) and, pressing towards him, turn to the right until he stops. Next, without “getting away from him” (in case he loses contact with him, he can drive off), try to press the hood to his left side of the car without letting go , then you can freely ram it towards the water (without releasing the gas ).

1st option - you cut off the witness (if the maneuver is performed correctly, the bot will become dull and will simply honk like an ordinary NPC on the road), then by holding R2, you twist your car into the side of the witness and begin to ram it towards the water. It is important that if your car is not moving, you can press X (limit the speed), thereby reducing the speed and causing a snag.
The 2nd essence of the second option is to quickly drive around the witness along the dam and go to meet him, because the witness travels along a scripted route, you can catch him and, according to the 1st option, we cut him off and drown him.

The main element of this trophy (I'm talking about the part where you're already flying in pursuit of the witness) is how you drive the part along the gnarled forest road. It is necessary to drive through this area as carefully and carefully as possible, but at the same time quickly. After landing on the ice, be extremely careful, the car can spin out at any second, and if this happens, you can essentially press the restart. My tactics were extremely simple. I caught up with his car and waited for the moment when he needed to turn left in a long arc. I carefully clamped his car, making sure that he wouldn’t rush anywhere in the next second. He got out of the car and pulled him out, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with him. Use singles carefully Do not finish it off under any circumstances. At a certain point, he loses the desire to fight and he goes on the run. Carefully catch it at the edge of the ice and use , pushing him into the water. I got it this way

PS!!! Be extremely careful when pushing out as It is also used for silent killing, which is what happened to me the first time. This is immediately followed by saving, and not only will you have to cut in a cafe, but you will also have to start the entire mission from the beginning.
