In an incredible act of bravery and selflessness, five female college students from the University of Georgia rescued a mother and her two young children from a submerged minivan while traveling from Athens to Savannah for St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
According to Fox 5 Atlanta, the five college students, who are Kappa Alpha Theta sorority sisters, said they saw a cloud of dust near the Brier Creek bridge and a flash of white light as they were traveling.
“We kind of like pulled over super fast, turn, go down this hill to this boat ramp area — and we just see this white minivan submerged underwater,” McCollum told the outlet.
After finding the minivan submerged in the water, the five students jumped out of the vehicle to help rescue the mother and her two children.
“We see the mom pop out of the car, and we’re just like, just tag teaming trying to get the children out of the water,” McCollum said. “The smaller kid, he was four years old, he was like fully under for like we think about four to five minutes.”
Fox 5 Atlanta reported that one of the students called 911 while another student used her lifeguarding training to perform CPR on one of the two children.
