HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) – First responders raced to save a life in Hialeah when a car went into a murky canal. <\/p>\n
People were seen in the water after a black Tesla crashed down on Thursday evening. Divers rushed in to save them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was horrible,\u201d said a witness.<\/p>\n
The incident happened at the intersection of West Fourth Avenue and Northwest 114th Street.<\/p>\n
Cellphone video obtained by 7News shows four people in the water: one as a diver, one man with a life preserver in his hand, and the other two next to each other with their heads sticking out of the water.<\/p>\n
First responders surrounded the scene as bystanders watched it all unfold.<\/p>\n
A second cellphone video displayed the moment first responders rescued one of those people from the canal.<\/p>\n
One person was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital\u2019s Ryder Trauma Center for treatment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI pray for the family, and for the person, that she will survive something like this, will be amazing,\u201d said area resident Hilda Santos.<\/p>\n
Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies stayed at the scene as the Miami-Dade Underwater Recovery Team assisted in removing the Tesla from the water.<\/p>\n
Just after 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, the car was taken out of the canal, brought back to land and towed away.<\/p>\n
