'She said she hadn't been to sleep for a while and that she just fell asleep and skidded off the road,' one of the teens said after the courageous rescue.
Two Kansas teenagers are being praised after leaping into action to save the life of a woman who fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a lake.
Doherty said he entered the water and swam towards the van, quickly followed by Fellingham. The unnamed victim, who was alone in the vehicle, said she was stuck in the van's wheel., recounting how he dove underwater to help her free her foot. The victim then climbed onto the roof of the van and waited for assistance from the local fire department.
"When [firefighters] came, they sent out a guy and he had a float with him," Doherty added."They got her out, and me and Kaeden just swam back." . Reflecting on the incident, Cooper Doherty offered this advice:"Don't just wait for someone else to do it first." Local media reported the woman escaped without injury and was thankful for the help.that driving without adequate rest is"clearly dangerous." Even those who don't actually fall asleep behind the wheel have reduced decision-making abilities, putting other motorists and pedestrians at risk.
