Florida Man Saves Pregnant Woman from Sinking Car in Dramatic Rescue
A selfless act of kindness by a Florida man has left everyone stunned after he saved a pregnant woman from a sinking car that had crashed into a pond on Interstate 95. Logan Hayes, who was stuck in traffic at the time, quickly sprang into action, jumping into the water and swimming to the rescue.
"I couldn't believe what was happening," Hayes said in an interview. "I just couldn't believe I happened to be driving by at that exact moment." When he reached the car, he found the back passenger door was still above water and swam up to it to assist the woman.
The pregnant woman had panicked and asked for help, and Hayes instructed her to climb into the car through the open back door. However, as she climbed in, the car began to tilt and roll down, threatening to drag them underwater. Undeterred, Hayes held onto her hips, feeling her stomach beneath him, which confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.
Miraculously, they managed to swim their way out of the sinking car, with Hayes later saying it felt like a "different level" of difficulty. Just minutes after their rescue, Martin County Fire Rescue crews arrived on the scene and confirmed no other occupants were inside the submerged vehicle.
In a stunning turn of events, just hours after the rescue, the woman gave birth to her baby at a nearby hospital in Fort Pierce โ also marking her 29th birthday. Hayes' heroism has been hailed as an incredible act of kindness, and his fiancรฉ expressed heartfelt gratitude for saving their partner's life during such a critical moment.
Hayes, who has experience with water but had never rescued anyone before, said he felt a sense of control and confidence in the water that allowed him to save the woman. His selfless act serves as a poignant reminder of the power of human kindness and the impact one person can have on another's life.
