Description
A Conroe man believes he was in the right place at the right time when he rescued a driver whose truck got swept into a flooded drainage ditch.
A severe storm broke out on May 28, 2024, when Robert Chance drove through the Spring area with his girlfriend, Renee Young, and her daughter. Chance said they took a wrong turn and noticed a red truck that appeared to be stranded in high water.
“The first thing he said he wanted to do was check if someone was in there,” Young said. “He was just ready to jump over the edge, he's not thinking, he's just going, it's primal."
In a video captured by Young and her daughter, Chance was seen taking a closer look at the waterlogged truck before he rushed back to his truck to grab a hammer. The video continued and showed Chance using the hammer to break the front windshield.
“When I saw him in there, I immediately went to my toolbox,” Chance said. “He was waving so we could see him, and you could see his boots, at least that's what it looked like to me, was his boots hitting the windshield.”
