A Maryland police officer jumped into a kayak and used two screwdrivers - in place of a set of paddles - to race across an ice-covered river to rescue a pilot who crashed his plane.
Dramatic video shows female officer Elizabeth Myers with the Anne Arundel County Police Department rushing to assist the pilot after the single-engine aircraft went flying into the frozen waters of Beards Creek. Myers was assisted by other kayakers during the joint rescue mission.
The clip, retrieved from the officer's bodycam, shows the aftermath of the December 26 crash.
The pilot, Steve Couchman, 71, of Prince Frederick, Maryland, is seen bobbing in the distance as Myers summons all her strength using two screwdrivers to help her kayak move swiftly over the frozen ice.
