TAMPA, FLA. (WSVN) – Body camera footage captured a life-saving rescue by deputies near Tampa after a woman drove into a retention pool and needed help getting out. <\/p>\n
The heart-pounding race to save her was captured on audio and video as the woman\u2019s pickup truck sunk in a retention pond. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe car\u2019s fully submerged,\u201d yelled a deputy.<\/p>\n
Hillsborough County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies reached the pond just minutes after receiving the desperate 911 call from the victim. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m in the lake, I\u2019m on 70th. I\u2019m in the lake and I\u2019m going to drown, I don\u2019t know how to swim. Please, I\u2019m going to drown. I lost control of the vehicle and it fell in. Please help me!\u201d the woman told the 911 dispatcher. <\/p>\n
\u201cAre you able to open the door?\u201d said the dispatcher. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe doors are closed. The doors are closed. The doors are closed,\u201d said the woman. <\/p>\n
She then tells the dispatcher she is running out of time. <\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot swim. I cannot swim. It\u2019s filling up with water,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
\u201cOK, I have help coming,\u201d said the dispatcher. <\/p>\n
Deputies quickly arrive to the area of 70th and Hartford Street and try to access the interior of the car.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe window, the window. We have to break the window,\u201d yelled a deputy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got it!\u201d responded another deputy. <\/p>\n
After breaking the window, the deputies reached toward the woman and pulled her out. <\/p>\n
\u201cPull, pull\u2026\u201d said the deputy. <\/p>\n
The woman received minor injuries and the vehicle was later removed from the pond.<\/p>\n
