Beekeepers saved a teenager's life after she drove off a road and into a swollen creek in Alvin.

PEARLAND, Texas - Several beekeepers out of Pearland are being hailed heroes for their quick thinking after a car accident that helped save a teenager’s life.

The accident happened at approximately 6 p.m. Monday where CR 144 and CR 870A meet in Alvin. The car went through a guardrail, off a bridge and landed top down in a swollen creek.

Officials say the victim is a 17-year-old girl, and as of Tuesday night, is intubated at Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Medical Center.

The beekeepers who helped save the teen are six migrant workers from Mexico currently working for Jerry Stroope, owner of Stroope Honey Farms in Pearland, on work visas.

Their names are Arturo Moncada Espinosa, Arturo Moncada Acosta, Luis David Toscano Chavez, Eddberto Barron, Omar Zamora Nunez and Cesar Perez Chavez.

On Monday, they were transporting dozens of hives in their trucks when they came across Ashley Ortiz, who flagged them down in the road.

“I stopped traffic and was telling people, ‘Please help! Help!'" Ortiz said.

Moments before, Ortiz had also been driving down the road with her 15-year-old son Armando Rivera when she says someone stopped her SUV.

“He said, 'Please help me! My girlfriend is in the car and underneath,'” Ortiz said.

A car had crashed upside down into a swollen creek with the teenage girl trapped. Ortiz’s son jumped in the water along with another Good Samaritan and tried to flip the car over while Ortiz flagged down the beekeepers, who also sprang into action.

Several jumped in the water while two others quickly unloaded their forklift.

“They knew the guys were struggling, trying to get the car over on its side, but they knew they didn’t have the muscle to do it,” Stroope said. “So they just got the forklift and toe strap, they hooked onto the car and pulled it over. Instantly, they were able to get her out in seconds.”

Witnesses say a nurse from Clear Lake was also there and performed CPR.

“You’re not thinking nothing,” Barron said. “You’re thinking, 'I’m trying to save this life.'”

None of the Good Samaritans consider themselves heroes although many others will likely disagree.

“They didn’t hesitate at all,” Ortiz said. “At all. I don’t know what their names are...I don’t know who they are, but God bless them for doing that.”

On Tuesday, Alvin residents reported the accident scene is known to be dangerous due to the road being dark and twisty.
