Two NJ Tow Drivers Jump Into Creek to Cut Trapped Motorists from Overturned Vehicle on Route 295

Two employees of Johnson Specialized Towing of Burlington were riding in a tow truck on Route 295 in West Deptford on February 26 when they witnessed a utility vehicle leave the roadway and overturn in a creek, according to NJ1015. The drivers pulled over, ran down the embankment into the water, and cut the seatbelts of two trapped occupants before emergency services arrived.
