A man is being hailed as a hero after he jumped into a frigid lake in Roane County to save a woman who was trapped in her car. It was around 3:30pm Sunday when Brody Roberts happened upon the accident and pulled over. After verifying that another person on the scene had called 911, Mr. Roberts braved the icy waters and swam to the woman’s car, which went completely under just as he got to her vehicle. Roberts opened the door, but the woman still had her seat belt on and was trapped. Roberts managed to free the woman, grabbed her and swam back to shore. The woman was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Mr. Roberts, who was not injured, said he was only doing what he would hope someone would do for him or his family.
