Boy, 14, saves deer that ran into sea after being hit by car. Samuel Massa, from Fossacesia near Chieti, did not hesitate when he saw the animal struggling in the water and dived in to rescue it.

Massa will be received and awarded a prize in the next few days by Fossaceia Mayor Enrico Di Giuseppantonio.    "Sensitivity and good behavior must always be rewarded, especially when young people are concerned," said the official.
