Mississippi Teen Saves Four People from Sinking Car

Sixteen-year-old Corion Evans of Pascagoula, Mississippi, saved four people from drowning after a carful of teenage girls accidentally drove off a boat launch into the Pascagoula River. Evans noticed a sinking car in the river with three girls calling for help and sprang into action. Police Officer Gary Mercer was also on the scene trying to help the girls, but after getting too close to one of the struggling victims and inhaling water he became in danger of drowning as well. Evans swam out to the car, helped the officer back to shore, and then returned to help the three girls make it to land. Evans was awarded a certificate of commendation for his bravery.
