Car plunges into river in China; driver rescued by Samaritans

NINGBO, CHINA (KABC) -- A woman who drove her car into a river in Ningbo, China was rescued by Good Samaritans Tuesday. The incident was captured on surveillance video.

The driver lost control of the car, swerved and plunged into a river running between two busy roadways.

Lots of people saw what happened and rushed to help.

The car was in the water for about 10 minutes with water rushing in when one of the witnesses broke a window, allowing the driver got out.

The driver couldn't climb up out of the water on her own, so people bent over the river's wall and pulled her to safety.
