Way to go guys! 84-year-old woman rescued after car crashes into ocean

[cali]

An elderly woman escaped almost certain death after a group of strangers bravely dived into the ocean to save her after her car crashed into the water.

The Portland Press Herald reports that 84-year-old Ursula Nixon lost control of her car, driving through two fences and submerging her blue Nissan into Maine's Portland Harbor.

"It looked like it was barreling pretty fast," Michael Wells, one of the rescuers, told the paper. "I saw it go over the edge and then water splashed up."

Katie Nelson was first in the water, climbing on top of the sinking vehicle and then through the car's rear window to pull Nixon out to safety.
