Heroic Rescue in Rising Floodwaters

A heroic act unfolded Tuesday morning in New Bedford when Stephen St. Martin leaped into action after witnessing an SUV hydroplane and flip into floodwaters on Route 140 South. With the car submerged and doors locked, St. Martin broke through the rear window and pulled the driver—thought to be in his early 30s—out of the water, guiding him safely to dry land. The driver suffered only minor injuries, and St. Martin, who didn’t even catch his name, shared a photo of the flipped vehicle online, calling it a moment of pure luck and timing that allowed him to be exactly where he needed to be to save a life.
