A Drive into the Lake

First Place - Spot News Region 8 1999 2nd Quarter NPPA Quarterly Clips Contest

Two ladies, on their way to church, take a wrong turn while driving along the Pontchartrain lakeshore.

We just happen to be on the lakeshore on another story when our desk called us to say that a car had gone into the lake. Seconds later we arrived on the scene, there were several wet people seeing to the well being of two very wet ladies. At the moment we approached the scene with my camera rolling, people involved in the rescue started to tell each the same story from their perspective. After we left the scene, my reporter and I decided the best way for us to tell the story is to let them all tell it in a string of sound bites.
