University students Jane McArdle, Mary McCollum, Eleanor Cart, Clarke Jones, and Kaitlyn Iannace were on a routine drive when they witnessed a white car move off the road and roll into a river. Without a moment’s hesitation, these extraordinary individuals jumped into action. Turning their vehicle around, they rushed to the crash site, where the submerged (淹没的) car posed a threat to the trapped ones in the car.
大学生简·麦卡德尔、玛丽·麦科勒姆、埃莉诺·卡特、克拉克·琼斯和凯特琳·伊恩纳斯在例行驾车时，目睹一辆白色汽车驶离公路，滚进了河里。这些非凡的人毫不犹豫地立即行动起来。她们把车调头，冲到事故现场，在那里，淹没的汽车对车内被困的人构成了威胁。
“We just see a vehicle submerged in the middle of a river, and just sinking by the second more and more under so we just throw our stuff aside really without much hesitation and just jump in,” McCollum said. McCollum also described the perilous situation as she and her friends stood atop the sinking vehicle, battling against the weight of the water-logged door. “We’re standing on top of the car and we eventually get this super heavy water-logged door open,” she said.
麦科勒姆说:“我们看到一辆车被淹没在河中央，一秒一秒地下沉，越来越深，所以我们毫不犹豫地把东西扔到一边，跳了进去。”麦科勒姆还描述了她和她的朋友站在下沉的汽车上，与被水淹没的门的重量作斗争的危险情况。她说:“我们站在车顶上，最终打开了这个超级沉重的积水门。”
Through determination and teamwork, they managed to open the door and pulled out the mother and her two children, aged 8 and 4, from the danger. But their heroism didn’t end there. Clarke Jones, drawing upon her CPR training from her lifeguarding experience, immediately jumped into action to save the youngest child. “Eventually, he came to and started crying and breathing,” Jones said. “It was a really surreal experience.”
通过决心和团队合作，她们成功地打开了门，救出了这位母亲和她的两个孩子，一个8岁，一个4岁。但她们的英勇无畏并没有就此结束。克拉克·琼斯从她的救生员经验中吸取了心肺复苏术的训练，立即采取行动拯救了最小的孩子。“最终，他醒了过来，开始哭泣和呼吸，”琼斯说。“这真是一次超现实的经历。”
The selfless actions of these five young women did not go unnoticed. The local sheriff’s office took to social media to express their gratitude and admiration, recognizing the students’ quick thinking and bravery. “The quick thinking and bravery of these women is absolutely admirable. We are grateful you were in the right place at the right time,” the post read, expressing agreement with the attitudes of an entire community.
这五位年轻女性的无私行为并没有被忽视。当地警长办公室在社交媒体上表达了他们的感激和钦佩，对学生们的敏捷思维和勇敢表示赞赏。“这些女性的敏捷思维和勇敢绝对令人钦佩。我们很感激你在正确的时间出现在正确的地点，”该帖子写道，表达了对整个社区态度的认同。
