Florida paramotor pilot helps save woman clinging to submerged car that crashed into canal

A paraglider out for a routine flight spotted a woman clinging to her submerged vehicle in a canal - and swooped in to her rescue. Cristiano Piquet was filming his flight near Homestead, Miami, Florida, USA, when he spotted the woman 'holding on for her life'. Video shared by Piquet shows the woman in the water, screaming for help as she desperately holds onto her car. Cristiano landed and shouted “Need help?” to which the stricken motorist relied: “Oh my God. I fell with my car in here.” He enlisted the help of a nearby resident, and the pair used ropes to pull the woman to safety. The woman, exhausted from the ordeal, can be seen hugging the good Samaritan. Cristiano added: “Mission accomplished.”
