Give the officer some credit, folks. He did have a gun in case someone’s dog was nearby.









A police officer stood by, chatting on his cellphone while the men rescued the 62-yr-old woman, who is now in critical condition.









According to witnesses the woman was trapped in her vehicle for at least six minutes.

Update:

Unfortunately, the woman is now dead. Sudsburystar reports: “Two sources have confirmed to The Sudbury Star that the 62-year-old woman rescued from her sport utility vehicle after it left Municipal Road 80 on Thursday near McCrea Heights and plunged into a marsh has died.”
