Iowa State football players save Luisa Maria Castro, 22, from sinking car on South Padre Island, Texas
Iowa State players rescue woman from sinking car during spring break
The events began to unfold at about 8 p.m. on March 16. That's when Jahlas was standing on a hotel balcony and saw Castro's car go into a canal near the 1700 block of Padre Boulevard. Jahlas, thinking someone was inside, yelled to his friends.
Lazard, Spreen and Doran took off to help. The three jumped into the canal and swam over to the car. Soon they got to Castro, who was trapped in her car and trying to get free.
The three fought to break her loose, punching at the vehicle’s front window. She kicked at it. Nothing seemed to work.
