A Teenage hero rescued a woman whose car was underwater in a Michigan lake.

The heroic act occurred on July 23, when John Agnello (15) was enjoying a fishing date with his mother at the Lakefront Marina. While fishing he watched the woman’s car drive into Lake St. Clair. He and another person leaped into the water to save her, per ABC local channel WXYZ-Detroit.

“I just see a car just go flying in the air. It was about 15 yards into the water already… and so me and this guy, me and him instantly go into the water,” Agnello reported to the local news channel. “We tried to get her out and then we realized the car was at like 65% water, so then we had to get her out the window because the door wasn’t opening.”

“The only part that kind of scared me was I was under the water inside the car because I was feeling around in there. It kind of got hard to get out but everything was fine.”

The St. Clair Shores Police Department released a Facebook statement about the incident stating it is currently under investigation. 

The report stated that authorities were sent to the Lakefront Park area. When the authorities arrived, they witnessed  Agnello and the other man had successfully rescued the woman from the water onto the shore
