Goez and a customer, Jay Orsino of River Edge, jumped into the water and rescued the woman from her car.
"I kept telling her, 'Don't worry, we're going to get you out of here,' " Goez said. "We couldn't open the door because of the water pressure," Goez said. "Thank God, the window was half open. We got her through the window."
The woman was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center.
Firefighters said they tethered the car to the shore and helped a tow truck pull it from the water.
