The kind strangers who jumped into the water to save the family and dog all did so without even breaking a single window.
“No sooner did I hop in the water and the lifeguard captain was handing over the older lady to me,” Jeff Perez told CBS Los Angeles.
According to the Long Beach Fire Department, no one was taken to the hospital after the accident.
“LBFD Lifeguard units responded to reports of a submerged vehicle just after [1 p.m.] today,” wrote the Long Beach Fire Department in a tweet. “Lifeguard and vessel assist personnel arrived and made water entry and extricated an elderly couple from the vehicle. [The] couple was treated on scene and released. Accident under investigation.”
