Three Gloucester City police officers jumped into the river and pulled the woman out of the car. They then provided medical treatment while she was still in the water.
Good Samaritans nearby loaded the woman and the officers onto their boat and transported them to a floating dock, where the officers kept providing medical treatment until other rescuers arrived.
