Three officers from the Dryden Police Service put their life on the line last night to save two intoxicated individuals from drowning.
Off-duty officer Denise Szachury was walking near Wabigoon River when she noticed a man who had just emerged from the water.
A second person was still in the river and was in distress and the man went back in to get him.
The two both wound up in the middle of the river and became distressed.
Constable Jon Allen and Constable Terry Menard arrived and all three officers dove into the frigid water to save the two.
A 22-year-old woman and 18-year-old man were rescued and transported to hospital with hypothermia.
Charges are pending.
