HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — Hernando County Fire Rescue (HCFR) rescued a driver after a rollover crash-landed the vehicle in a canal on Saturday.
Just before 9 p.m., HCFR responded to a crash that caused a vehicle to roll over into a canal on Shoal Line Boulevard near Lentini Lane in Hernando Beach. There was a report of a person in the vehicle trapped and submerged in the canal.
Firefighters arrived on scene and entered the water. They successfully rescued the lone occupant from the passenger side of the vehicle and brought them to shore, Fire Rescue officials said.
CPR was initiated along with advanced cardiac life support procedures.
Heading to a local hospital, the patient regained a pulse but remained in critical condition.
“Great work by all responders, and we are praying for a positive outcome,” a post stated on an HCFR social media page.
"To keep hitting stone walls trying to resolve the matter—that’s not consumer friendly"
A retired law enforcement officer thought he took all the right steps when someone stole his identity and opened a new phone line, but he was still left with the bill.
