When 71-year-old Steve Couchman crash-landed his plane into the frozen waters of Beards Creek, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, shortly after taking off from Lee Airport, he was brought onto a kayak by a good Samaritan father-son duo. Anne Arundel County Police Officer Elizabeth Myers also boarded a kayak in an attempt to rescue Couchman, using screwdrivers to propel the kayak forward on the ice.
“Oars don’t work on ice, but screwdrivers do!” the police department wrote on a post showing the bodycam footage. Watch below to see Myers respond at the scene of the icy crash.
