GLOUCESTER, N.J. -- A dramatic water rescue was caught on video in New Jersey. 

Body camera video shows Gloucester City police officers jumping into the Delaware River last month to rescue a woman from a submerged car. 

The car plunged off a pier and ended upside down in the water. 

Three officers were able to reach the woman and pull her out, and Good Samaritans on a boat nearby helped from her to an ambulance. 

She is expected to recover. 

It's unclear how the car ended up in the water.
