Maine lobstermen rescue pair trapped in SUV underwater | Bangor Daily News
SOUTH THOMASTON, Maine — Two lobstermen helped to rescue a man and woman Sunday afternoon after their SUV plunged into the water near the South Thomaston Public Landing.Click for the rest of the story by Abigail Curtis in the Bangor Daily News.
“We were tying up our skiff and heard a horrendous crash,” said Rolf Winters of South Thomaston. “We looked up and saw the car flying through the air.”
According to Knox County sheriff’s Deputy Matt Elwell, Frank Rankin, 77, of Camden had been driving through South Thomaston with passenger Ruth Duff, 85, also of Camden, at about 1:45 p.m. when his foot went numb. Rankin pulled in to the town landing and tried to hit the brake, but accidentally hit the accelerator instead and plunged over the stone wall and into the Weskeag River.
Winters, a retired volunteer firefighter for South Thomaston, said that he and his son Kurt Winters, 31, were 15 feet or so away when the silver Dodge Durango hit the water nose-first.
“It was airborne right in front of our eyes,” he said. “It really went down fast.”

highlighted as 12 hopefuls
speak at the industry forum
ROCKPORT – A dozen candidates for governor stressed the importance of Maine's fishing heritage at a forum on Friday, but differed on how best to help one of the state's oldest and most important industries.
The three-day Maine Fishermen's Forum at the Samoset Resort is designed to draw attention to the issues facing the state's commercial fishermen.
This year, the group invited some of the candidates for governor to a forum. Four Democrats, six Republicans, a Green Independent and an independent candidate got a chance to address about 100 people and to answer questions.
Candidates were asked what they would have done to prevent next month's closing of the sardine cannery in Prospect Harbor, how strongly they would advocate for Maine fishermen and what can be done to attract seafood processing plants to Maine.
