A group of quick-thinking New Yorkers have likely saved the life of a woman after she became trapped under the wheels of an SUV. Footage of the incident showed nearly a dozen people sprinting to help the stricken lady and hauling the large vehicle up in the air to free her pinned body.

The man who captured the dramatic moments on camera, Colby Roscher, recalled the shocking incident, which occurred on the Lower East Side, at Delancey and Norfolk.

“As I approached there were big crowds forming all around the intersection,” he told The New York Post. “All of a sudden everyone ran to lift the car. It all happened so fast.”
