New Jersey Police Rescue Man Trapped in Car Sinking into River
Collingswood officers dived into the Cooper River with a rope, a flotation vest, and an expandable baton and pulled a man out of the car’s window.
Police said they responded at 6:34 a.m. to the Cooper River at Route 130 North after a report of a car accident. When they arrived, the car was rapidly sinking into the river and a man was frantically trying to pry his way out of a partially open driver’s-side window, police said.
Officers dived into the river with a rope, a flotation vest, and an expandable baton, police said. They broke three windows but couldn’t immediately find the driver in the muddy water. When they found him, officers pulled the unidentified man out of a window, got his head above water, and secured the vehicle to the shoreline with the rope to prevent it from sinking farther.
