Fishing buddies Tyler Dauzat and Brock Newcomb of Rapides Parish, Louisiana, were fishing a local benefit bass tournament on Feb. 8 when something caught their eye.
Quickly, the two fishing buddies abandoned their bass tournament to inspect what looked like a car sinking in the river. They discovered an 80-year-old man trapped inside. The car windows were up, and the car was filling with water as the anglers eased alongside the floating car in their boat. Dauzat believes the car had crashed into the river about 10 minutes before they found it floating. Together, Dauzat and Newcomb were able to muscle the 80-year-old man out of the car as gently as possible and into their bass boat. Newcomb had already alerted authorities they’d found a man in a car in the Cane River, and they had dispatched emergency personnel to the scene.
