At the last second
Police rescue pregnant woman from sinking car
It was only by chance that police officers in the US state of Florida discovered a vehicle that had ended up in a canal. The driver - a pregnant woman - was rescued from the car at the last second.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The dicey incident took place in Palm Bay. The police officers were actually on their way to a faulty power line in the area when they discovered the vehicle in the canal.
The occupant made herself known by knocking and the officers didn't hesitate for long: the bodycam footage shows them getting into the water and pulling the woman out of the car. "They weren't thinking at all. They literally went into life-saving mode to save this pregnant woman," officer Jamie Copenhaver told local media.
The woman cried in shock as she stepped onto the shore. She had narrowly escaped death: If the officers had been alerted just a few minutes later about the power line or if they had been stuck in traffic, "I'm sure the outcome would have been different," Copenhaver said.
