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.
A South Tampa man turned to Susan Solves It after he said ADT told him he had to keep paying for a security system at his Hurricane Helene-damaged home, even though the system was so new that he never had a day of service.
