South Carolina Police Officers Rescue Unconscious Driver from Vehicle Sinking in Pond

There's a pond near where I live. One cold February morning I went out for an errand. When I drove back there were some cars stopped and a police car. Apparently some older dude went off the road and launched into the middle of the pond Dukes of Hazard style. He drowned before anyone got to him.

I've wondered what I would have done had I left 10 minutes later and seen his car go into the freezing water. Would I have dove in and tried to save him. I think Mythbusters did an episode on what to do when a car goes in the water but I hadn't seen that at the time.

Bravo, lots of gators in those ponds.

Fortunately for the driver, our Southern brethren of the Lowcountry are of more noble character than the commie scum on the left coast.

Get the windows down asap before the electrical system goes out. If it's already gone, bust a window. Once the door is underwater and the window is still closed, you ain't getting it open until pressure is equalized.
