JACKSON COUNTY, IL. (WJPF) – A pair of Good Samaritans are being credited with pulling a driver from flood waters in Jackson County.
According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to the accident scene on westbound 13 near Airport Road just after 11:00 AM Monday. A driver had traveled off the right side of the roadway, down an embankment, partially submerging the vehicle in a body of flood water.
