Thanks to the quick thinking of her children and the rapid response from Good Samaritans and the West Orange police, a Texas woman is now alive.

Last month, Jonquetta Winbush's car was submerged in a pond after a medical incident while driving, leaving only the back bumper visible.

As he drove through a southeast Texas city, Epifanio Munguia observed a vehicle and promptly leaped into action to aid a police officer who had fallen into the water.

On "Fox & Friends First" Friday, Munguia stated, "I saw a vehicle in the water and thought it was an unlikely occurrence. I believed a wrecker would retrieve the car. However, upon seeing an officer rushing towards the water, I realized it had just happened."

"I began praying, "Lord, grant me strength, speed, and endurance. Provide me with wisdom." Then, I pulled over and ran into the water, attempting to break the window in the back."

Winbush's two children were in the car when she suffered a seizure while driving, causing her to pass out with her foot on the gas pedal and driving into the water.

Dwight Winbush, 12, and his 16-year-old sister escaped from the car and Dwight quickly ran to a nearby patrolman, Charles Cobb.

Dwight exclaimed, "She's having a seizure! She's sunk! Help her!" and Cobb immediately left for the car.

Corey Bull, another Good Samaritan, followed behind the officer to assist in pulling Jonquetta out of the sinking car.

"I jumped into the water, and the car began to sink immediately. I tried to grab Jonquetta, but I couldn't unbuckle the seatbelt," Munguia stated.

Upon returning, Munguia claimed to have heard one of the men exclaiming, "We've got her!"

""That was a great feeling when it happened," he said, as if he had just won the lottery."

Jonquetta was kept stable after Officer Cobb quickly administered CPR and emergency services arrived.

Jonquetta was sent to the ICU and remains in intensive care.

"Bevnisha Holman, Jonquetta's sister, expressed her gratitude to host Todd Piro. She said, "I am so grateful that the kids were there with her. They were both so brave. And I love that my nephew Dwight was able to take direction from his sister to go and flag down some help.""

"I am deeply grateful that Epifanio stopped to assist, as this could have resulted in a very different outcome. Thank you so much."
