A mother and her three children were rescued by an RCMP officer after their vehicle plunged into the St. Lawrence River. The occupants became trapped in the partially submerged car and were unable to swim. The RCMP officer helped them escape and they were checked by paramedics for any injuries.
A mother and her three children are lucky to be alive after being rescued by an RCMP officer from their vehicle that had plunged into the frigid water of the St. Lawrence River earlier this month. A vehicle was travelling on Country Road 2 when, for unknown reasons, it left the road and plummeted into the river, police said. Four people were in the car – a woman and her three children, aged 20, 11 and five. Police said the occupants became trapped in the vehicle that had submerged partially.
“They were unable to open the doors but were able to open a window. None were able to swim,” police said. The eldest daughter called 911 and was told that first responders were on the way. Fortunately, an RCMP officer was in the area and jumped to assist. “He helped all four get out of the vehicle and onto shore. They were checked out by paramedics to ensure there were no physical ill effects of the incident,” police said
