Firefighter Honored For Saving Woman

A Marceline volunteer firefighter honored Tuesday for rescuing a woman from a car last year that was sinking in the river.

Last September, firefighter Levi Kelly saw a car run off the road and land in the Chariton river on U.S. 36. The driver, Stephanie Bressan, had fallen asleep . As her vehicle was sinking, Kelly swam and rescued her — just before the car went completely under.
