Hero rescuer who pulled women from sinking car 'just did my best'

Melanie Earley Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours, a hero rescuer who pulled two women from a sinking car in Auckland harbour says he “just did my best” to help.

Will Sergeant was driving along Westhaven Drive, in central Auckland, on Wednesday afternoon when he heard a loud crash and saw a car go over the edge of the road into the harbour.

He leapt out of his vehicle, called out for help, and dived into the harbour after the car. He then set to work trying to free two women who were trapped inside.
