Landscaper rescues trapped driver from Naperville pond

VIDEO: A local landscaper jumped into action, rescuing the driver of an SUV that crashed into a pond in suburban Naperville on Wednesday morning. Now, he is to thank for saving her life. Just before 10 a.m., the Plainfield Fire Protection District, in collaboration with the Naperville Fire Department, responded to a call of a car submerged in a pond near the intersection of Royal Worlington Drive and Route 59, according to a news release. The driver was trapped inside her vehicle after a crash sent her veering off the road and into the water, officials said. The ordeal could have ended up much worse if it werenโ€™t for an observant worker in the area. A landscaper working near the Whispering Lakes subdivision saw the accident unfold and hurried into the water without hesitation, according to officials with the Plainfield Fire Protection District.
