A woman in West Frankfort, Illinois, almost lost her life in a flood in April. Her car was almost completely submerged in water when first responders and good Samaritans jumped in the water to save her.

The three men were recognized at an event Tuesday by Illinois State Rep. Dave Severin.

April 29 is a day Dustin Shelton will never forget. He and his family were traveling to West Frankfort to visit relatives when his car approached a flooded road. He got out of his car, and was told that a woman was trapped in her car in the water.
