Local resident Miguel Enrique said that it was he who jumped into the water to get to the car and save a woman and a child.

“I'm not a hero. What matters to me is that I saved two lives. I went into the water, it got deeper and deeper, and I told the woman: “I will save the child, and then I will come back and save you,” the man said.

Enrique and his colleagues were part of a landscape team that cut trees near the pond.

The man said that he climbed into the SUV through the back door, unhooked the child from the car seat and handed it to another man, who was waiting on the beach to help him.

“I didn’t know if it was deep or shallow, but I had to save them. Because I also have children and maybe tomorrow someone will help my family or someone else who needs it,” the man explained the motives for his actions.
