Strangers saved the life of a motorcyclist Monday who was trapped under a burning car after colliding with it. And it was all caught on video.
“One, two, three go!
Oh!
Come on! Oh go, you can do it! And what’s bad that it’s growing. Get out, somebody grab him!
Holy crap!
Hurry. Oh my heck!
Oh, my gosh. Oh my gosh.” (Video source: Youtube / sltrib)
That group of construction workers, students and bystanders all came together to push the car up to save the trapped victim. Many are saying the rescuers are all heroes -- including Utah’s KSL.
“If those people hadn’t stepped in, things could have been a lot worse. While there was possible danger from fire and possible explosion from the car, those witnesses say, they couldn’t just stand by and watch.”
The police were present at the crash and helping, but the local police department had something to say to KTVX about the good Samaritans as well.
“I’m impressed that that many people would get involved, especially where there’s fire involved.”
The motorcyclist is in critical condition but is expected to be okay. He remembers the entire incident. His family released a statement Tuesday, thanking everyone that acted heroically to help save his life.
