Taylor Rod White, a 21-year-old crane operator from New Harbour, N.L., on March 13, 2018, entered 42-degree water after witnessing a vehicle travel off a road and into a bay of the Atlantic Ocean off of New Harbour. Despite heavy rain and wind, White swam about 80 feet to a 22-year-old woman who had exited the submerging vehicle and was floating, unconscious, near it. White towed the woman back to a dock, struggling in the cold water. Once he reached the dock, others assisted both of them from the water. White was cold after the rescue, but he recovered.
