Car Plunges Into Sheepshead Bay: 3 Rescued


by on Oct 11th, 2009

Early morning reports from the Daily News and the New York Post tell us that a car went into Sheepshead Bay. There were three people in the car and all three were rescued by fisherman, Keith Gorman, who was nearby.

Alla Yelizarov was taking her two daughters to a family birthday party and had just parked her car in an angled parking spot on Emmons Avenue near Dooley Street. For reasons unknown at this time, the car went racing through the barrier and ended up at the bottom of the bay. When, Keith Gorman, who was working on the dock saw what had happened, he immediately jumped in the water to save the family.

    Unbelievable. How could someone mistakenly end up on the pier from one of those angled spots??????? This could have been much worse.

    Wow. That guy is really brave. I watched the video and it seemed like everyone was just standing around or running around.. I don’t get why people didn’t help faster. Luckily someone got brave enough to jump in. I’m not sure what I would do in the situation either, so I really can’t judge.
