Police officers and firefighters from Hamilton Massachusetts answered an emergency call on Friday morning when an elderly couple drove their auto into Lake Chebacco and they were in need of being rescued.
The stranger managed to get the couple out of the auto that was sinking into the lake when the police and firefighters arrived.
The couple who were rescued by the stranger were treated by medical personnel and the couple managed to get a relative to take them home safely.
The auto was taken out of the lake by New Beverly Auto and the Beverly Dive Team in the afternoon.
The incident is being investigated by the authorities. So far no charges have been announced.

Most likely the driver of the auto may have blinded by the sun shining or the driver had a panic attack.

I am sure that the senior couple were scared while they were in the lake.

Personally, seniors can look younger and feel good but I think driving should be stopped by at least age 70. But I know most people think that driving is the only way to get around,

That stranger did a valiant job to rescue the couple in such dangerous circumstances, and deserves a reward for that.

I am sure that the stranger who saved the couple who were in the auto in Massachusetts will be given a reward from the city soon.

Now that we're the age we are, if anything happened to us, we'd be described as an 'elderly couple'. We don't really think of ourselves as that. lol
