Oliwia Szewc, 13, had rushed to the aid of the group and ripped branches off trees to try reach them.‘I’m guessing most of them already fell into the lake. I was just shocked and panicked because I didn’t know what I could do. Me and my friend have never really been in a situation like that before.’They called 999 while trying to source anything nearby to reach them.

Oliwia said: ‘I was just trying to find branches of trees and try to pass to them but they were all too short.‘I was just trying my best to think of different ways to at least help them or do anything for them to float on the surface of the water so they wouldn’t drown.’ The brave girls remained on the scene until emergency services arrived, shrugging off their jackets so they could be wrapped round the boys.

Oliwia also described how she saw a man, believed to be a relative of one of the boys, jump into the icy water.Oliwia Szewc, 13, even took off her jacket to give to the paramedics treating the boys Oliwia told ITV: ‘Ambulance workers were asking for jackets and coats to try to bring the boys, like, temperature back up.
