... seconds before the passed-out drunk drives into a canal.
"He saved that man's life," fellow McDonald's employee Priscilla Morgan said of co-worker Tonio Harris.
The pair were working early Thursday morning when driver Brian Broussard, 20, pulled up to the drive-thru service window. "He was blacked out, leaning over the steering wheel," Morgan said.
East Baton Rouge sheriff's deputies say when Broussard's foot slipped off the brake, the car began to roll toward a canal across the street from the McDonald's. Harris took off after it, pulling Broussard from the still-moving car just before it plunged into the canal.
"It's just something that happened and I reacted, like a normal person would I guess," Harris said.
Broussard was arrested for driving while intoxicated.
