Watch: Heartwarming rescue on I-95 in Florida

Armed with a ladder and sheer determination, Ormond Beach firefighters made entry into the vehicle. A human chain was then formed, and the firefighters passed the gifts to Volusia County deputies, who moved them to dry land.

ORMOND BEACH, Fla. – First responders saved a Florida family's Christmas after their car crashed and rolled over Monday.

"Good news: Everyone’s OK and Christmas is saved," the City of Ormond Beach posted on Facebook along with photos of the crash on southbound Interstate 95. 

The 30-year-old driver from Jacksonville was heading south on the interstate near mile marker 271 in her 2018 Kia Sorrento when her vehicle began hydroplaning and drove off the road, according to the Florida Highway Patrol crash report.

The car then struck a pole, rolled and ended up in a ditch with about 3 feet of water in it, according to the Volusia Sheriff's Office. The driver's three young children, the oldest about 5 years old, were also inside. Bystanders helped the occupants get out of the crashed car before first responders arrived.  All the children were rushed to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to survive, troopers said.

"Thankfully, everyone involved is safe and sound," the City of Ormond Beach said. "But there was a twist – all of their Christmas presents were trapped inside the submerged vehicle."
