Bystanders and Officers Pull 80-Year-Old From Submerged Truck

Saint Paul, United States – Two bystanders and five police officers swam out into Lake Phalen and pulled an 80-year-old driver from his truck after it crashed into the water on Monday afternoon, November 9.

A docked police drone that responded to the scene filmed the two Good Samaritans, who had jumped into the lake and were trying to get the driver out. Footage released by the Saint Paul Police Department shows a Maplewood officer and four Saint Paul officers reaching the truck, after which the group broke its windows and pulled the man out.
