PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – A quick-thinking tiki boat captain and the family on board made a daring rescue Saturday afternoon. Cruisin’ Tikis Pittsburgh Captain Robb Rusiewicz and the family said they saved a woman from nearly drowning in the Mon River. “When we first saw her, she was about 100 yards in front of that barge right there,” said Brian Gates of Duncansville. Gates was with his wife Chantel Ventura celebrating their daughter Grace’s 12th birthday with her two friends on a tiki boat tour when he said the captain spotted someone bobbing up and down in the water struggling. Gates quickly called 911. Captain Robb turned the boat in the woman’s direction. “She was struggling with hands and arms, just everything she could do to just to keep her nose above water,” said Gates. The family and boat captain then pulled the woman out of the Mon River. Gates said the woman first told them she was swimming but later told them she fell in. The family said she was disheveled and had cuts all over her feet. Point State Park Manager Jake Weiland said the 54-year-old woman was taken to the hospital for treatment and is expected to recover.
