The Goodness of America
Late-night Swim
Jim Rogers seemed to find superhuman strength to rescue a young woman from her vehicle submerged in the Santa Rosa Sound in Florida on January 3.
Northwest Florida Daily News reported that Rogers was standing in his kitchen when he noticed the woman speed through his subdivision, drive across his backyard, and plunge into the water. He immediately ran to her rescue. A retired military man, Rogers actually pushed the vehicle into shallow water before pulling the driver from the car to safety.
“I wasn’t sure what I would find,” Rogers said, recalling his 11 p.m. plunge into the dark salt water. “I was over my head a little bit with the current, the waves and stuff. It was cold.”
