Tony Cooper and his friend Elijah Hodge, both 13, were walking home from a Dollar Tree store on West McNab Road on the night of May 29 when they saw a driver suddenly lose control of his pickup truck and crash into a canal. Their quick response prevented what could have been a tragic drowning in the small southeastern Florida city. The teens recounted to authorities what happened next: “We rushed and took off our shoes and stuff,” said Cooper. “We literally jumped on the hood and then we took off the seat belt and then we pulled them out. I started screaming at him because he was heavy while he was in the car. We were screaming, he woke up, we helped him get out of the car and after that, he was on the hood and then we pulled him onto the grass.””
