A wild video shows the dramatic moment a good Samaritan and a police officer save a woman from drowning in the water.
A newly released body camera video shows Jonquetta Winbush’s 12-year-old son panicking as he signals for a police officer to rescue his mother.
Winbush suffered a seizure while driving in West Orange, Texas, and ended up sinking his vehicle into a body of water.
“She’s having a seizure. She’s underwater,” the boy cried as he pointed to where his mother was trapped in the water.
After making sure the child was safely stored in the police vehicle, the officer waded into the water toward the mother’s sunken car.

The officer, along with a good Samaritan, managed to get into the car and rescue the woman.
Epifanio Munguia was the good Samaritan who risked his life, along with West Orange officers, to rescue the woman.
Winbush’s two sons were in the car at the time of the crash, but both managed to escape and scream for help.
The incident took place in July, but Winbush is still in the ICU more than three weeks later, although she has been taken off a ventilator and is now breathing on her own.
Winbush’s family has expressed their gratitude to those who saved her.
“After seeing her I was overwhelmed with emotions so I texted her and I want to personally thank her for being there for my niece and nephew and ultimately my sister because she really helped save her life,” said Bevnisha Holman, Winbush’s sister.

Holman has even kept in touch with Munguia, who she says is involved in her sister’s recovery.
The Good Samaritan even stopped by St. Elizabeth Hospital to visit and see how the family was doing.
“It’s good to know that attention is being paid to this because we want Jonquetta to recover and for people to be praying for her and possibly get more help after she recovers. That’s really what I have in mind,” Munguia said.
