Struggling in the darkness on Sunday (November 22), an officer in waist-deep water used a tomahawk to smash a back window of the car, ordering driver Alexis Carver Schreckengost to turn her face away from the soon-to-be-broken glass.

The officer then pulled her out the rear driver's-side window, asking "is there anyone else in the car?" and hearing confirmation the driver had no passengers, as the vehicle sank into the Mahoning River.

Police were alerted to the incident after the woman inside the car called 911. She was treated and released at a local hospital for cuts and scratches sustained in the crash.

Alliance Police said they believe the driver may have fallen asleep, causing her to go off the road and into the river.
