Firefighters in Orange County rescued a woman from a sinking car on Tuesday, with a big assist from a man who dove in headfirst to help.
Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. Kim Montes said 31-year-old Terasa Susanne Meadows had a medical emergency while driving south on Westgate Road.
Meadows lost control of her vehicle, Montes said, driving off the road and into a pond at about 2:25 p.m. Tuesday.
Kent Nugent, 32, lives across the street from the pond and was getting ready to mow his lawn when the vehicle hit the water, officials say.
As an Orange County Fire Rescue spokesman described it, "Without hesitation, he swam out to the vehicle to assist the driver in exiting."
