Logan Hayes noticed a vehicle sinking in a pond near a Martin County rest stop while stopped in southbound traffic on Interstate 95. He ran to the water, jumped in, and swam to the car where the back passenger door remained above water. A panicking woman inside was guided into the backseat as the car tilted and water flooded the interior. Hayes, who works on a private sport fishing boat and is comfortable in the water, had not performed a rescue before. While preparing to swim to shore he realized the woman was pregnant and held her by the hips.
