Watch a crowd lift an SUV to save a woman who was hit and trapped underneath in NYC
After a woman was hit and trapped underneath an SUV in New York, a crowd came to her rescue.
A video posted on Twitter, which has since gone viral, shows a woman who got trapped underneath a car after a traffic incident, Fox 5 reported. The crowd can be seen lifting a black Mercedes SUV to free the woman.
The woman, 25, was crossing Delancey Street on Jan. 26 when a driver turned right from Norfolk Street and hit her, according to The New York Daily News. The driver struck another car and caused “minor fender-benders.”
A crowd of people gathered and helped lift the car on the driver’s side. The woman was rescued without any serious injury, The New York Daily News reported.
Colby Droscher, who posted the video, also shared a photo on Twitter of the woman being helped by firefighters.
He wrote: “The woman is awake and on her phone.”
Droscher told The New York Post that he heard the crash and people screaming when he was a block away from the scene.
“As I approached there were big crowds forming all around the intersection,” he said, the Post reported. “All of a sudden everyone ran to lift the car. It all happened so fast.”
The woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital and her condition is uncertain, a New York City Fire Department spokesperson told The New York Post.
