Teen helps save elderly man and his dog after car falls through icy lake | New York Post

A high school student and several strangers jumped into action to save an elderly man and his dog after his car fell through an ice-covered lake in Iowa, dramatic drone footage of the rescue shows. 

Thomas Lee, 83, and his 6-year-old pup Cooper were heading to his son-in-law’s fishing shack when his Jeep plunged through the ice into the frigid waters of East Okoboji Lake in Dickinson County around 3 p.m. on Saturday, The Des Moines Register reported. 

Joe Salmon, 17, who was ice-fishing with his mother and watching snowmobile races nearby, called 911 and jumped into the water without hesitation to help as the vehicle began sinking. 

Corey McConnell, 30; Kody Harrelson, 26; Cody Chester, 27; and Chris Parks, 27; also helped pull the man and dog to safety, according to the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office.
