A man helped rescue a pregnant woman from a vehicle in a pond off Interstate 95 in Florida. Hours later, she gave birth to the child.
Logan Hayes had been driving to work near Stuart before 8 a.m. Friday before the Gatlin exit near the weigh station.
"As I was driving by, I saw this car in the pond," he told WPBF.
The vehicle was sinking. He jumped into the cold waters, swam out to the vehicle, and pulled the woman to shore.
Hayes later learned the woman was pregnant.
Martin County Fire Rescue crews arrived minutes later.
The patient was taken to HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital in Fort Pierce with serious injuries.
MCFD divers entered the water to confirm no other occupants were inside and to assist with scene recovery.
Exactly.
Think whatever you want to think. If you want to find something negative about a positive story, there’s nothing more for me to say.
Many of us Florida’s carry a holstered, small hammer with a conical steel bit for breaking glass, and a slotted razor for cutting seat belts. They’re sold in most auto part stores here.
Wait just one minute! How did he know it was a pregnant woman and not a pregnant man? I see some potential lawsuits on the way!!!
The dems are mad that she didn’t have a abortion, especially because she was black.
“I think Florida Man has redeemed himself with this single act of bravery’’.
Indeed he has!

That tiny cutie looks like a “Logan” to me! 😃

That’s naughty but damn funny! LMAO!
What do you mean? I wasn’t trying to be naughty; I just meant that the new mom could name her little one “Logan” after the man who saved their lives. Nothing diabolical intended, lol.
