A woman was taken to the hospital Wednesday night after two officers from the West Orange Police Dept. performed CPR on her following an accident.
Witnesses say a woman was driving northbound on Hwy. 87 in a silver Dodge Charger when, according to two young girls on the scene, she had a seizure, causing her to drive across traffic and into a pond near the Edgar Brown Dr. overpass.
The two girls were in the vehicle at the time of the accident. They were able to get out of the vehicle, swim to the bank and flag down help. Two WOPD Officers, Eugene Summage and Chuck Cobb, along with two other men, jumped in the water and got the unresponsive woman out of the vehicle. West Orange Fire also arrived on scene and the woman received CPR until they were able to get a pulse. The woman was then taken by Acadian to the hospital in serious condition.
KOGT will post further details when available.
