Dozens of Bystanders Help Rescue 9-Year-Old Dame Trapped Under Flipped SUV in Florida
Dozens of strangers, wearing everything from suits to cut-offs and flip-flops, came together over the weekend to rescue a 9-year-old doll trapped underneath a flipped-over SUV near Tampa, Florida.
Pics on social media demonstrate a congested I-75 highway as passing motorists stopped their vehicles and hopped out to shove the truck upright and assist its three occupants.
When they got the driver out, she told them her daughter was stuck under the SUV, according to CNN affiliate Bay News 9, a cable station in St. Petersburg.
“She told us that her youngest daughter was under the vehicle,” said Dayna Gibson, who stopped to help. “All of us ran around to the other side and we spotted the little girl’s arm sticking out from under the vehicle.”
None of the passengers were earnestly injured in the crash Saturday. The 9-year-old dame was transported to Tampa General Hospital, along with her mother and another underage passenger, according to Bay News 9.
The SUV upended after one of its right tires ruptured, prompting the driver to lose control of the vehicle. It rotated counter clockwise, entered a grassy median and collided with a guardrail off the highway, leaving a set of yaw marks behind.
The three passengers were at some point unconscious but sustained no life-threatening injuries, said Sgt. Steve Gaskins of the Florida Highway Patrol.
A witness to the accident posted a photo on Facebook, showcasing a crowd of people working in rapport to rescue the lady and hold the SUV upright.
“All these people ran from their vehicles … and helped to roll the truck back over and get a little lady out,” Veronica Casteleiro wrote on Facebook. “Just when I think humanity has lost its way, I see the graciousness of others. I didn’t see anyone worried about race or politics, the only concern … (was) the lives in that car.”
Gibson estimated about fifty volunteers lent assistance.
“We achieved what would have been unlikely by coming together,” Gibson said. “There were people from all walks of life there, it didn’t matter.”
By Sunday afternoon the driver of the SUV and its other passenger had been released from the hospital, while the 9-year-old was listed in fair condition, Bay News nine reported.
