It’s a cliché, but it’s true that not all heroes wear capes. A couple of bystanders saw a driver trapped in an overturned car that caught fire and didn’t hesitate to help him out. Their timely heroism saved the man’s life.
The incident took place in Pennsylvania, and the video above was captured by a police dashcam which shows a group of people jumping on top of the car to save the driver who had lost control of his vehicle. The car went airborne and crashed into several other vehicles in a parking lot, flipped on its side and caught fire with the driver trapped underneath.
One man jumped on top of the car as others pushed to flip it back over, after which the police managed drag the injured driver out of the driver’s seat.
