MOSES LAKE — A bystander pulled a man to safety after the truck the man was in rolled into the water at the Blue Heron Park boat launch early Wednesday morning. The unidentified man was seriously injured.
Moses Lake Police Department Captain Mike Williams said the man was one of three people launching a boat at about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday. The truck began rolling backward down the boat ramp while the man was asleep inside, Williams said.
The truck rolled into the water. The bystander at the boat launch went into the water, broke the truck window and got the man out, Williams said.
People on the scene performed CPR on the victim, who was in critical condition when he was transported, Williams said.
