Mark Smith, 51, was alerted to her plight by Geoff Handley, who was walking his dog near St Briavels in the Forest of Dean.Mr Smith and Mr Handley took it in turns to keep her warm until the emergency services arrived.:"I could hear someone shouting for help. She was half in the car and half in the water."It was a bit worrying, really, I tried to hold her on the car but we kept slipping as the car was totally underwater.
