Watch: Helicopter airlifts 71-year-old woman from car stuck in river

A rescue swimmer from the US Coast Guard pulled a 71-year-old woman from a vehicle that had steered into the McKenzie River in Oregon. A helicopter was used to lower the swimmer towards the car and hoist the woman to safety. A second vehicle occupant made it to the shore on their own.

"The response was complicated by high water, darkness, and the precarious location of the vehicle, which was stuck on a rock ledge in the middle of the McKenzie River," the Lane County Sheriff's Office said in a post on Facebook.

The woman suffered non-life threatening injuries and the second occupant was unharmed.
