VIDEO: Hamilton County deputies rescue driver from car that flipped into water

Recently released bodycam footage shows Hamilton County Sheriff’s Deputies rescuing a driver after their car flipped into water after crashing into a culvert. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office responded on April 30 to the intersection of 296th Street and Carpenter Road in Atlanta, Indiana, for an inverted car stuck in a culvert filled with water. Upon arrival, responding deputies found that the car was fully submerged in water and that the driver was stuck inside. Multiple first-response agencies began rescue attempts. Since the driver was still inside the car and the windows were underwater, several deputies and a DNR Conservation Officer had to go underwater and use tools to break the window and remove them. HCSO said the men did this “without regard for their personal safety.”
