"Ran over here and jumped in the water," said Henry Hebson, Good Samaritan. "Pulled his car to the side and then smashed the window with a rock. Climbed in there and pushed him out.
"We couldn't get the door open, it was locked, so we had to break the window to get the door open," said Good Samaritan Kevin Rickard.

Hebson and Rickard said the driver was unconscious at first but started to wake up as they pulled him to safety.
Police said the driver was the only person in the vehicle.
