Illinois deputies helped avert disaster early Monday morning, preventing a pregnant woman whose brakes failed from plunging into a bitingly cold lake.
Jaelyn Mocaby, the pregnant driver, called 911 around 2 a.m. Monday to report that her brakes were failing.
Mocaby told the 911 dispatcher that she couldn't slow down or turn off the car, according to a recording of the call.
But the car was still moving downhill, Mocaby told the dispatcher.
Coffey told NBC Chicago that he was just glad the woman was safe.
