“I guess I was just his guardian angel.”
Tom Hinchey / Western Journalism
Heroism was caught on camera in Port St. Lucie, Florida, when 92-year-old Salvatore Mancuso lost control of his car and drove off Bethany Drive, through some bushes, and into a lake near his home around 1:00 pm Wednesday. Alton Brieske was eating lunch across the street at Hurricane Grill & Wings when he saw the car half-submerged in 8 feet of water.
“I ran over there immediately, took my shirt off, and threw everything right there and just dove into the water.”
Brieske swam to the car and found the unconscious man in the front seat. He was knocking on the window in an attempt to wake the man when he noticed water was pouring into the car’s interior. The 21-year-old pre-med student used a hammer to smash the glass and unlock the Lincoln Town Car’s rear door. As the water rushed in, Brieske was able to get the man’s seat-belt off and extract him from the driver’s seat. Once the student pulled Mancuso to shore, he performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
Investigators report that Mancuso was in critical condition at a nearby hospital. They do not know what caused the man to drive his car into the lake.
“I guess I was just his guardian angel,” said Brieske, who was home from Florida Atlantic University for the holidays.
