Remember spring break? The beaches, the friends, the sunburns, the heroic rescues of women trapped in sinking vehicles ...
4 Iowa State football players rescued a woman from a sinking car
Four Iowa State football players, Josh Jahlas, Jack Spreen, Spencer Benton and Anthony Lazard, as well as two former players, Matt Swoyer and Joe Doran, got at least the last of these things on their recent spring break trip to South Padre Island, Texas. The Des Moines Register reports:
The events began to unfold at about 8 p.m. on March 16. That’s when Jahlas was standing on a hotel balcony and saw [Luisa Maria] Castro’s car go into a canal near the 1700 block of Padre Boulevard. Jahlas, thinking someone was inside, yelled to his friends.
Lazard, Spreen and Doran took off to help. The three jumped into the canal and swam over to the car. Soon they got to Castro, who was trapped in her car and trying to get free.
The three fought to break her loose, punching at the vehicle’s front window.
Eventually, they were able to break open the car’s windshield and pull Castro out.
This is what a group of heroes look like. Jumped in and saved someone from drowning in their car. God bless. pic.twitter.com/K7AqG64KtQ

“They really are heroes, and I am forever grateful for what they did,” Castro told the Register.
