A Tennessee man drowned after he jumped in the swift-moving Tennessee River to save his girlfriend from her sinking car, but she had already escaped, police said.
Christopher Heaton, 25, immediately dove into the water near Bridgeport, Ala., after he drove to the boat ramp where they were supposed to meet Tuesday night and saw her submerged car, Jackson County Chief Deputy Rocky Harnen said.
"Witnesses saw he was trying to get to the car, assuming he was trying to get to her," Harnen said.
The girlfriend, whose name hasn't been released, had already swam to the bank.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
