Two volunteer firefighters donned special gear, entered the river (flowing up to their waist) and pulled the woman from the driver’s side door.

The water flowed over most of the hood portion of the car, but was not going through the driver side window. The woman’s name was not released, but she was taken to get medical attention.

Wyoming Highway Patrol, Green River Fire Department, Green River Police, and Castle Rock EMT’s responded to the call.
