Video: Passers-by help police lift car off trapped cyclist Officers later apprehended the driver of stolen vehicle who had fled the scene cycling
Officers from the Watsonville Police Department had been called to stop the driver of the stolen car, who jumped out of the vehicle as it was still moving. It crashed into a 65-year-old male cyclist, who became trapped beneath it.
Corporal Isaak Rodriguez said: “I was thinking that we have seconds because this individual is going to die if we don't lift the car off his chest, seconds matter. He was gasping for air, he couldn’t breathe." One of the men who helped police lift the car, Marvin Luna, said: “I was in between two officers and I just grabbed hold of what I could and I noticed everybody else was trying to lift the vehicle.“I came back to work and I told my co-workers ‘you’re not gonna believe it’. This was one of the craziest lunches I’ve ever had,” he added.
