He alerted a police officer, but someone else ultimately saved the driver.shows “Let’s see if this vehicle gets stalled right here,” Gilmore says from behind the camera. When the truck is nearly underwater, Gilmore says the driver is trapped inside it, but the police officer is trying to help. Crawford then shows up at the scene with a tool to break the window. He is seen removing his shoes before wading chest-deep into the water. When he makes it to the truck, he breaks the window with the tool, and the driver is seen crawling out. At one point, the driver falls into the water, but Crawford is there to catch him and drag him to safety. When asked why he performed such a dangerous rescue, Crawford tells Gilmore, “I just had to go down there and do it. I’m a nurse.
