ELECTION DAY RESCUE: Naples volunteer saves woman from submerged car

A campaign volunteer saved a woman from a submerged car Tuesday morning, outside of a Naples polling place.

The volunteer, Jackie Ardoline, went to Covenant Church of Naples to hold up campaign signs for Collier County School Board Member Stephanie Lucarelli. She says when she pulled into the parking lot, she saw the car in the water and an elderly woman hanging out of the driver's side window.
