Summary
A 17-year-old teen narrowly escaped drowning after his pickup truck sank into a 35-foot-deep cistern near Herington—thanks to a daring, multi-department rescue operation that pulled him from the water using a spare tire as a flotation device and a coordinated ladder descent. Bystanders flagged down emergency crews, and teams from Abilene, Chapman, Junction City, and Salina joined forces to save him. The teen, hospitalized for evaluation, was released safely—highlighting the critical role of trained responders in turning disaster into survival.
