Police in Maine say a lobsterman jumped from a boat into the water to help save a driver trapped in a sinking car. The event took place Casco Bay shortly after noon on Thursday.
Police and fire crews were able to force entry into the vehicle while it was underwater. The lobster boat was nearby. Manny Kourinos, who was on board, jumped in and helped pull out the driver, police said. The water temperature was about 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
"I've been diving for 20 years now and never been in that circumstance where I had to recover someone from underwater," Kourinos told WCSH-TV.
