DESCRIPTION
WEST ORANGE, Texas — Newly released body camera video shows the moments a 12-year-old boy flagged down a West Orange police officer to save his mother from drowning.
Jonquetta Winbush is still in the ICU three weeks after driving off the road and into a body of water in July. The wreck happened near Highway 8 and Edgar Brown Drive.
Winbush suffered a seizure, causing the wreck. Thankfully she has been taken off the ventilator and is breathing on her own.

On Monday, the City of West Orange honored the team of officers and citizens who helped rescue the mother of two.
Epifanio Munguia risked his life to rescue Winbush. Munguia was in the right place at the right time to save a life. Munguia says he spotted Winbush's car in the water off Highway 87, on the evening of July 24.
Winbush's two children were in the car at the time of the wreck and were able to get out. But Winbush couldn't. The kids flagged down a police officer for help.
Munguia was one of many including the two West Orange police officers who stopped to help pull her out.
"After I saw her I was overwhelmed with emotions, so I messaged him and I want to personally thank you for being there for my niece and nephew and ultimately my sister, because he really helped save her life," said Bevnisha Holman, Winbush's sister.
Munguia and Holman have stayed in contact after the rescue, and Munguia says he's invested in Winbush's recovery, because he knows her young children need her.
"It's good to know that attention is coming to it for the fact that we want Jonquetta to recover and people praying for her and possibly get her some more help after she recovers. So that's really what's on my mind," Munguia said.
He even stopped by St. Elizabeth Hospital to check in on her and her kids who went back to school on Monday.
