HAVELOCK — Four Marines who witnessed a crash Monday morning pulled the driver from his partially submerged car and performed CPR until help arrived.

N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper J.A. Magana praised the four Cherry Point air station Marines, saying they “went beyond the call of duty to assist a motorist who was submerged in water.”

Staff Sgt. William Carlson, of Marine Attack Squadron 231 and a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, was heading to rifle practice at Camp Lejeune with three other Marines, Cpl. Shari Hansen, Sgt. Eric Lyman and Sgt. Caleb Bailey, all of VMA-231, when the crash happened.

The injured driver they assisted was also a Marine.
