LAKEWOOD , Colo. — A group of Lakewood teens jumped into action at Bear Creek Lake Park over the weekend and helped save a man who was drowning.
"We were just playing spike ball, waiting to see if the clouds would go over or not," Johnston recalled. "We were discussing an incoming storm we had. We're trying to just prepare for how we were going to handle rescues and whatnot," said Shaw."I turn around and I just see someone struggling," said Radisa.
"We're super grateful for their willingness to step up. And I hope they keep that kind of confidence going forward," said Shaw."The world needs more people like that that are willing to step in and help out in emergency situations. Without them, I don't know if that situation would have been as successful."
