A North Jersey man is talking about how he rescued a woman from her sinking SUV.

The vehicle crash-landed in the Passaic River Tuesday morning.

Jay Moss was on the other side of the river at his gym.

Without hesitation he jumped in the water and pulled the driver from the SUV.

Moss said, "It was a scary moment looking at someone unconscious in the car, if i can't get it open, she is probably going to die."

Moss carried the 50-year-old woman safely back to the river bank.

It's unclear what caused the woman to crash in the river.

She is expected to be okay.
