Mississippi teen recounts rescuing 4 people from drowning

When Corion Evans saw three people at a party, the 16-year-old never imagined he would save their lives a few hours later. But that's what happened in the early hours of Sunday when a car drove off a boat launch into a south Mississippi river.

The Mississippi high school student jumped into the Pascagoula River around 2:30 a.m. that day after seeing the car plunge into the waters from the boat ramp under Interstate 10. Three young women he had seen at a nearby party on Saturday had been in the car. They all had gone to a gathering spot near the boat ramp after the party ended.
