Good Samaritans Jump to Help Man Whose Truck Crashes Off Bridge
Good Samaritans jumped into action this weekend after a man accidentally crashed his pickup truck
through the on Louisianas Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.
Al Pike was on his way to work Saturday when he saw the crash. He stripped off his pants and shirt and jumped into the water.
As I was jumping over the edge of the , I noticed that the occupant had surfaced, so I just jumped in and swam over to him, Pike said.
He was saying, Help me, help me, help me. I said, Youre alive, thats the only thing that matters. Everythings fine. Youre going to be OK.
Other concerned drivers called police, then dropped a rope into the water, creating a human to the men up.
I took the rope and tied it around his torso, Pike said. I was hoping that my knot held.
The knot did hold, and the man, who was not identified, was pulled to safety . He was taken to the hospital for pain. His condition is unknown, but his road to is no doubt smoother thanks to his humble rescuers.
Im pretty sure that anybody wouldve done the same thing, Pike said.
