A sheriff’s deputy in Maryland jumped in frigid waters in 40-degree weather to save a 25-year-old woman after receiving a call to check on her well-being.
When deputies arrived at the scene on Friday, they saw a white sedan that was partially submerged in a lake in northeastern Maryland.
The 25-year-old woman’s white sedan was completely submerged before officers could get her out of the vehicle.
