Joseph says his foot slipped from the brake to the gas pedal, causing his vehicle to accelerate over parking barriers and over the seawall into a boat slip.
Three good samaritans–Courtney Douthit, 32, Joseph Sentelik, 48 and Eric Corum, 42–jumped into the water and broke the victims’ rear window using a fire extingusher. They then pulled the couple to safety, while the vehicle sank.
