Two children were pulled alive from an overturned car trapped in a torrent of flood water in Texas on April 29, when a group of passers-by pulled together to help, using tools and their bare hands to pry open the doors and get inside.

The incident took place near Myrtle Springs, according to reports, when the family of Phillip Ocheltree, leaving their home to escape flooding, “hydroplaned” off the wet road and flipped into a ditch.

Passers-by dragged the children to safety and helping to resuscitate them.

On his Facebook page, Ocheltree said that his baby son, Marshal, was doing well and that his two-year-old daughter, Addy, was “stable and doing much better,” late on April 30.
