(ABC 6 News) — A Minnesota man is being honored for saving another man’s life in Albert Lea.

Dalton Grose of Waterville has been award the Carnegie Medal. The honor goes to those who risk death or serious physical injury to an extraordinary degree while saving or attempting to save the lives of others.

Last fall, Grose jumped into Fountain Lake to rescue an 85-year-old man who was trapped in his truck nearly 60 feet from shore. Grose says it was all about being at the right place at the right time.

“You read some of the stories that, some of the stories that are on there are just incredible. My story feels like just a sliver to some of the other stories,” Grose said. “It’s really an honor and a privilege to be a part of it.”

A ceremony to honor Grose by the Carnegie Foundation is currently in the works for sometime at the end of the year.
