OWENSBORO, Ky. (AP) – Officials say two Kentucky National Guard soldiers pulled four teenagers from a frigid western Kentucky creek after their vehicle slid into the water.
Sgt. Matthew S. Hamilton and Sgt. Michael A. Clary helped local law enforcement Wednesday with getting the teens out of the water.
Clary says they listened to the sheriff's radio all night before hearing the call.
Daviess County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Lt. Col. Jeff Jones says the vehicle had already filled with water by the time emergency officials got there.
Clary jumped in the water with a Masonville Fire Department volunteer firefighter to aid in the rescue while Hamilton assisted with calming the teenagers and moving them to the soldier's Humvee for warmth.
