“They called and asked for our boat,” Sartin said. “We put in at the Warfield boat ramp and went down the river.”

He explained Webb had washed up under some trees limbs that were overhanging the water, and the rescuers went past her once but some bystanders spotted the woman, and alerted the three Kermit firemen who were in the boat.

The semi-concious woman was pulled into the boat and taken back to the boat ramp, where she was transported by the Martin County Ambulance Service.

A Netcare Ambulance Service crew transported her to Highlands Medical Center. The victim’s medical condition was unavailable.
