Shocking bodycam video shows mother being rescued from submerged car in West Orange, Texas

A 12-year-old boy helped save his mother when he flagged down a police officer after his mother suffered a seizure while driving and fell into a body of water.

A newly released police body camera video shows the heartbreaking rescue of Jonquetta Winbush, a mother of two from Texas, and her two children (Bri-Asia, 16, and Dwight, 12) on July 24 in West Orange, Texas.

“She’s having a seizure! She’s trapped! She’s in the water, help her!” Dwight says in the body camera video.

West Orange Officer Charles Cobb and several good Samaritans responded to the scene at a pond off Highway 87 in West Orange and found a gray car partially submerged with Winbush inside.

Winbush’s sister, Bevnisha Holman, told ABC News that Dwight managed to escape the car and swim out of the pond before running to get help.

“My nephew managed to swim out of the car to my niece, who told him to go get help,” Holman said.

After Cobb heard Dwight and saw what had happened, he ran to his patrol car to grab an ice pick to open the car window. Some good Samaritans, including Epifanio Munguia, also stepped in to help.

“I realized what was happening at that moment. I stopped and jumped into the water,” Munguia recalled to ABC News.

Munguia said he and others managed to break the rear window of the submerged car, but then the vehicle began to sink.

“And then as soon as we opened the door, the front door, I heard ‘I got it’ and I felt like I had won the lottery,” Munguia said.

The men pulled Winbush from the water, but she was unconscious, pulseless and not breathing before Cobb administered several minutes of CPR.

“I remember holding her hand and I could feel her pulse in her wrist. I don’t really know how to describe it, except that life started to come back to her,” Munguia said.

Winbush is recovering in a hospital and after more than three weeks on a ventilator, Holman told ABC News that her sister is now breathing on her own and getting stronger.

Holman and his family said they are grateful for the rescuers who reacted quickly and did not hesitate to help.

“My sister, my niece and my nephew, they all needed you. You stepped up. You didn’t hesitate,” Holman said.

The City of West Orange honored Cobb and the Good Samaritans on Aug. 13 with a lifesaving award and letter of recognition.
