WILDWOOD CREST, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say a motel worker and a guest rescued a man who nearly drowned in the motel's pool.

Wildwood Crest police say the 34-year-old Fair Lawn man was unconscious when he was pulled from the water at the Aztec Motel around 8 p.m. Saturday. He remained hospitalized Sunday in critical condition.

It wasn't clear how long the man had been in the water or if he suffered a medical emergency. Authorities have not released his name or the names of the two people who rescued him.
