One of the worst things someone can experience is watching another person struggle for life while one cannot help the struggling person.

In a news report, WCBS said the yet-to-be-identified woman left the parking lot at a gas station shortly before the accident occurred.

Witnesses said a Pelham Manor Police officer, who was later identified as John Luiso, rushed to the scene and reportedly took his uniform off before jumping into the canal in a bid to rescue the woman.

One of the witnesses, John Valente, described how the police officer, who was the first responder to arrive at the scene, did all he could to save the woman. However, it was a hopeless situation due to the canal's condition.

The officer's rescue attempts were hampered due to the canal's murky waters. When the woman was finally pulled from her submerged vehicle, she was already dead.

All occupants of the Honda died while the GMC's occupants were taken to the hospital.
