Trapped Under A Car, A Women Is Saved By A Crowd

A motorcyclist in Dallas crashed into a car and the rider ended up trapped under the car.

Emergency personnel tried to use a jack to lift the vehicle, but it failed. And it was taking too long to bring heavier equipment.

So a crowd of emergency responders and passers-by lifted the vehicle by hand.

Police have now released video, in which the woman is pulled out from under the car with no serious injuries.
