@ThePrettybrowneyes12 The driver was intoxicated, driving towards the river at a high rate of speed, eyewitnesses said they thought maybe 60 - 70 mph. She became airborn and landed where we started winching from. Fortunatley nobody was seriously injured and I believe there was a lesson learned.

You guys did a great job! I like how Duke was explaining to his kids about the weight of the water in the vehicle...very informative.

I don't know the names of the people that were nearly killed by the car, but two of the people that jumped in were TJ Moyes and Gabe Padgett. Let this be a lesson not to drink and drive.
