Sheriff’s deputies in Florida rescued three people who were inside a car that was overturned and partially submerged in a canal.

The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office said that while deputy Dan Whittington was traveling to an unrelated call on Oct. 8, he saw a car that was flipped upside down and partially submerged in a canal.

Whittington then went into the canal and rescued a woman who was inside the car.

Another deputy, Patrick Newman, arrived shortly after to assist with the rescue operation.
