Southern Illinois sheriff's deputies stop a pregnant woman's runaway car from going into a lake.
It happened early Monday morning in Williamson County, east of Carbondale.
Deputies responded to a 911 call from driver who said her car would not stop.
Video shows the deputy pull in front of the woman's car and put on his brakes to slowly bring the woman's car to a stop about 0.4 miles before reaching Crab Orchard Lake.
No one was hurt, and there is no word what caused the woman's brakes to malfunction.
Here is some of the compelling TV coverage and video as one deputy speaks after helping her in this traumatic moment.
