Off-Duty Lifeguards Save Girl from Raging Waves | Newark News
Description
An 11-year-old girl was swept into dangerous ocean currents after dark, with no official lifeguards on duty. Bystanders scrambled to help, but the waves were too fierce—until two off-duty lifeguards, Ben Swan and Matt Gibson, raced to the rescue. They pulled the girl and others safely to a rock jetty, where medics confirmed she was okay despite swallowing seawater. Gibson sustained minor scrapes from the rocks. Police are praising the quick-thinking rescuers and bystanders, warning everyone: even when lifeguards aren’t on duty, the ocean remains unpredictable—and awareness could save lives.
