After a Jeep fell through the ice Saturday, 17-year-old Joe Salmon jumped into the water to save Thomas Lee, 83, and his dog Cooper, 6, who were trapped.

Their Jeep fell through the ice under the Highway 71 bridge in Dickinson County, according to a Facebook Post from the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office.

"I took one step and [the water] went to about my chest," said Salmon, an okobojihs student. "I got on the bumper of the rear and tried opening the back door, but all the windows were locked, but one guy gave me a knife and I hit the back glass a couple of times."

Corey McConnell, 30; Kody Harrelson, 26; Cody Chester, 27; and Chris Parks, 27; also helped pull the man and dog to safety, the sheriff's office post said.
