A man's date suit was left drenched in water and ruined when he jumped into a pond in Northwest Indiana recently – but he was more than happy to do it all to save a driver trapped in a submerged car.
Branden Delk was driving along the Borman Expressway in Northwest Indiana, when something caught his attention at the Kennedy Avenue exit in Hammond.He spotted a pickup truck partially submerged in a retention pond.
"And as I get up a little bit more on the ramp, I notice his headlights are on," Delk said."So I'm like, this can't be an old accident. This obviously hasn't been dealt with.""I started yelling," Delk said,"because my main thing was, is the person drowning? Are they OK?" Remember – it was dark, moments before midnight. But that didn't keep Delk – who was heading home with his wife at the time – from jumping into the water to help."No," Delk said,"I wasn't really concerned about my own safety."The reason she was so nervous is that her husband was standing on top of the pickup truck inside which a man was stuck and submerged – as documented in photos."Water is up to at least his stomach," Delk said.
Twenty minutes after Branden Delk hopped into the chilly pond, the driver was free and safe. It was not clear what caused him to lose control."Did you see other cars get off the exit? And was that a little disheartening for you?""You know what? The crazy thing I'm sitting on top of car screaming to people as they're coming on the off-ramp, and people will slow down, and you can see them their phones and their cameras out - but nobody's stopping.
Branden and Sierria Delk were celebrating their second wedding anniversary, and they have a tale to reflect upon in the years to come.
