A motorist who lost control of her vehicle ended up in Fowler Branch creek thanked on Tuesday the firefighters who saved her.
Yolanda Parker said her brakes gave out and she swerved to miss another car near the intersection of Snapfinger Circle and Snapfinger Road in DeKalb County.
Firefighters rescued her about 200 to 400 yards from where her car flipped over, DeKalb fire Capt. Eric Jackson said.
