A Massachusetts couple are unlikely heroes after rescuing a man who drove his vehicle into the Mississippi River. According to the Winona County Sheriff's Office, Brittany Pashkow and Dustin Colson-Leaning are traveling across the country this summer in their camper. They were stopped at the Dresbach rest area on Monday when a vehicle drove down an embankment and into the water. The driver was having a medical emergency.

Pashkow immediately called 911. As the car was sinking, Colson-Leaning went into the river, extricated the semi-conscious driver and pulled him to the shore. The driver was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The vehicle was completely submerged by the time law enforcement arrived. A WCSO Facebook post praised Pashkow and Colson-Leaning, stating without "their life saving efforts, the end result would have been a lot different."

The City of Winona is getting $550,000 in grant money for a public skatepark. A total of eight public skatepark projects across Minnesota are getting a total of four-million dollars in state grants.

"We're pretty proud that these grants are significant numbers that really get these communities almost skatepark, or give them a substantial amount towards the parks," said Paul Forsline of City of Skate. He added they've been pushing the legislature many years for this funding.

Brainerd, Rochester and Northfield are also receiving grants. Forsline says legislators approved the funding in 2023 and it was appropriated this session.
