Rally spectators rescue driver from drowning after car flips into lake,A
Polish rally driver and his navigator are pulled to safety by
fast-acting spectators after their race car crashes off the course and
lands upside down in water. The Renault Clio left the road and flipped
over. It landed on its roof in three feet of water, trapping driver
Patrick Osowiecki and navigator Maciej Wrona inside.

With no race
officials in sights, half a dozen quick-thinking spectators stripped
off their clothes and jumped into the water to rescue the pair.

The group lifted the car onto the passenger side, enabling Osowiecki to open his door and climb to safety with Wrona.

The
accident took place during the third round of the Polish Cup rally,
which was held in the south east of Poland around the towns of Kazimierz
Dolny, Pulawy and Kozienice.
