A man in Pascagoula, Miss., is credited with saving the lives of a 90-year-old man and his wife after rising waters carried their car into a ditch filled with alligators that had escaped from a nearby alligator farm, according to a Local 6 News report.
"The alligators were waiting," good Samaritan David Nix said. "The water was coming through my window and the alligators were waiting for these people to die. They were sitting in the car and not doing anything, in shock and scared. They were just grabbing the steering wheel."
Good Samaritan David Nix said he noticed the couple's car in the ditch Tuesday and ran to help when he noticed alligators were surrounding the vehicle.
"The alligators were waiting," Nix said. "The water was coming through my window and the alligators were waiting for these people to die. They were sitting in the car and not doing anything, in shock and scared. They were just grabbing the steering wheel."
Nix said rising waters pushed the car into the ditch with the alligators.
"The water was coming over both sides of the street and dragged the car into ditch," Nix said. "Alligators started surrounding the car. There was a 90-year-old elderly man there in shock and I had to drag him out."
Nix dragged the man to safety and then rescued the woman.
"Then, I had to pull his wife out and she was in shock," Nix said.
Nix put the couple in the back of his truck and drove them to Cedar River Hospital.
