The couple, a 70-year-old man and woman in her 60s, drove onto the ramp while confused by GPS directions, Sgt. Matthew Storen told USA TODAY Wednesday.
Police said the employees at the Islander 71 Seafood restaurant and bar collaboratively rescued the two. Local station WCIV-TV reported that the incident occurred after the couple had dinner at the establishment.
Bartender who saved couple was a former lifeguard
Islander 71 general manager Christopher Sollom, said one of their bartenders, Johnny Himmelsbach, used his experience as a former lifeguard to save the couple, WCIV-TV reported.
„Didn’t even hesitate; he jumped right in and was able to pull two people out of the car before it submerged into the water,” Sollom told the station.
Sollom said another employee joined Himmelsbach into the water while other staff alerted first responders, according to WCIV-TV.
