FRESNO, Calif. A FedEx driver in Northern California is being recognized for his heroic actions after he jumped into a freezing river to save a woman who crashed her car.
Brandon Alt says he was just getting started on his delivery route on Monday when he noticed the car in front of him weaving.
The vehicle then went off the road and into the Truckee River.
Authorities say the woman driving the car was on the phone singing happy birthday to a relative, so she wasn t paying full attention to the road.
Pittsburgh Police continued the search this week for a Beechview man missing since last month.
Thomas Hughes, 25, was last seen around 11 p.m. on Jan. 23.
His vehicle, a 2012 silver Volkswagen Routan, was found the next day near the South Side Riverfront Trail, authorities said.
Authorities searched that area again Friday, deploying patrol officers, bicycle units, the Special Victims Unit and River Rescue, according to a release from Pittsburgh Police. The Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office searched the area from overhead using drones.
Hughes remains missing.
A day prior, police released a security footage from a gas station that captured Hughes the night he was last seen. Police did not say which gas station the footage was from, though they asked that anyone who encountered him around that location to contact the Special Victims Unit.
