For some reason there seems to be a lot of stories about cars going into rivers, canals, etc. today. In Baton Rouge, a McDonald's employee pulled a drunk driver from his car about 10 feet before it plunged into a canal.

"He saved that man's life," fellow McDonald's employee Priscilla Morgan said of co-worker Tonio Harris.

The pair were working early Thursday morning when driver Brian Broussard, 20, pulled up to the drive-thru service window. "He was blacked out, leaning over the steering wheel," Morgan said.

East Baton Rouge sheriff's deputies say when Broussard's foot slipped off the brake, the car began to roll toward a canal across the street from the McDonald's. Harris took off after it, pulling Broussard from the still-moving car just before it plunged into the canal.

The driver was arrested for drunk driving.
