When an un-named passerby jumped into a frigid river to pull this woman from her car, he was doing something that is even more dangerous than it first seems. Often that first plunge into ice-water causes an instinctive inhalation. If that happens while submerged the stage is set for lungs full of water. Not only that, if the trapped woman had gotten a solid grip on the rescuer, he could have found himself fighting for his own life with the person he went to rescue. Glad it all worked out.
