How 16-Month-Old Twins Were Rescued From Drowning In Canal

A mum has thanked 2 car wash workers John Campbell and Craig Munro for saving her twin 16-month-old girls from drowning in a canal.

The twin girls, aged 16 months, plunged into the Forth and Clyde Canal in a freak accident on Monday. As the buggy tipped over and sank John Campbell and Craig Munro jumped into the water after hearing screams from the babies’ gran, who had lept into the canal.

She had been walking with her granddaughters and two grandsons, aged four and seven. The babies were saved after John and Craig, both 27, who work at the nearby ARC Carwash, hauled the buggy to the bank where Craig’s dad William hauled it to safety.

The mum has visited the car wash to thank John, Craig and William with her husband and the girls’ aunt, she said: “We’d like to just thank everyone involved. We’d like to give our specific thanks to those who responded and the  passers-by. But we don’t wish to make any further comment.”

The girls were taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in south Glasgow for checks following the incident but both are fully recovered. They were both conscious when they were taken out of the water.
