Veteran Rescues Woman & Child

A veteran is being credited for his quick response after witnessing a vehicle go into a lake in north Arkansas. Lonnie and Pamela Crim of Mountain Home were at Pigeon Creek Park in Baxter County around 9:00 a.m. Monday when they saw the accident. Lonnie Crim dove in and was able to free a toddler and her mother from the sinking SUV. The driver of the vehicle told the couple she had fallen asleep while looking for a place to park and take a nap. Neither the mother nor the child were injured.
