"I didn't know where I was going and then I just didn't know what to do. I was just thinking in my head, 'I think I'm going to die,'" Salcedo told a reporter.

Unable to find his phone and surrounded by icy water, Salcedo called out "Siri, call 911!"

Rescuers rushed to the scene and helped Salcedo out of the river. He was treated in hospital for shock and released after a few hours, according to KIMT.
