St. Johns County Deputy Jayde Glines gained attention for her brave rescue of two young women from a sinking car, as shown in bodycam footage. The incident took place early on sSaturday last week, when the car carrying two 18-year-old women crashed into a body of water in St. Augustine. "Please hurry up, there's water coming in the car," one of the women pleaded during the frantic 911 call, released by News4Jax.
Glines is seen in a video charging into the water to rescue two women moments before their vehicle would have plunged 20 feet underwater. The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office and First Coast News documented the scene. The women were unharmed and were taken to UF Health St. Johns for precautionary evaluations.
The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office shared a detailed account on Facebook, recognizing the communication team's efforts to keep the women calm as the vehicle sank. The post also highlighted the SJSO Dive Team's involvement, along with a local wrecker service, in recovering the submerged vehicle.
