Officials say a woman would’ve drowned inside her SUV following a crash if not for a New Jersey man, who sprinted into a river, pried open a door and carried her to safety.

Police say the 50-year-old woman’s SUV jumped a curb in Nutley Tuesday morning and plunged into the Passaic (puh-SAY’-ihk) River.

Jason Moss says he put on a pair of gym shorts and ran into the water. He says the woman was floating unconscious and that the vehicle was filling with water.

Moss says he pried open a door of the partially submerged vehicle and swam to shore with the woman.

Police say she was taken to a hospital. Her name hasn’t been released.

The crash remains under investigation.

    No Muslim who admits to wanting to follow Shira law should not be allowed to live in the USA! That includes Obama.That includes Muslims who pray to Alla! Thomas Jefferson knew in 1812 when he sent the marines after the Muslims in Lybia that the Muslims were dangerous and had to be defeated!
