Robert Chance and his girlfriend made a wrong turn when they found a truck stuck in high water. That's when he sprung into action to pull the driver to safety.A severe storm broke out on Tuesday when Robert Chance drove through the Spring area with his girlfriend, Renee Young, and her daughter. Chance said they took a wrong turn and noticed a red truck that appeared to be stranded in high water.
In a video captured by Young and her daughter, Chance was seen taking a closer look at the waterlogged truck before he rushed back to his truck to grab a hammer. The video continued and showed Chance using the hammer to break the front windshield. After he broke the windshield, the video ended. That's when they said they called the police. Speaking to us Wednesday night, Chance said he later broke the rear passenger window and pulled the truck’s driver out that way. They climbed out of the ditch with a ladder provided by another good Samaritan.
Chance told KHOU 11 that he’s still in contact with the man he saved -- who is doing well. However, despite his actions, he doesn’t consider himself a hero; just a construction guy with the right tools for the job.
