Cocco, of Islip Terrace, was unable to free herself from the vehicle.
Two witnesses, Jacob Miller and James Digiovanna, saw that the vehicle was almost completely submerged in the canal.
They jumped into the water, rescued Cocco from the car and brought her to the edge of the canal. Police officer Joseph Bianco responded and assisted the two men in bringing Cocco safely to shore.
Cocco was transported to Southside Hospital, where she was treated for hypothermia. Miller and Digiovanna declined medical treatment.
