A teenager is earning high praise after jumping into a river and rescuing three girls and a police officer.
Corion Evans, 16, jumped into the Pascagoula River in Mississippi last week to help save three teenage girls as their car sank. In the process, he also helped a police officer who began to struggle during the rescue.“They drove straight under the water,” Evans told WLOX. “Like, only a little bit of the car was still above the water.”“I was just like, ‘I can’t let none of these folks die. They need to get out the water.’ So I just started getting them,” Evans added.
Evans’s mother also expressed pride in her son, saying he “wasn’t just thinking about himself. He was trying to really get all those people out the water. I’m glad nothing happened to him while he was trying to save other people’s lives.”Mercer and the three girls were taken to the hospital and are said to be recovering.
