DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – A woman was rescued by Daytona Beach firefighters “seconds before” her vehicle completely went underwater in a pond.
The Daytona Beach Fire Department said in a Facebook post Tuesday the car went into a pond across from Target. She was the only one in the vehicle and was unable to get out by herself, the department said.
