Getting trapped in a car during an accident can be a harrowing experience. Unable to escape, you’ll never know whether something life-threatening is about to happen next.
Hence, the power of teamwork demonstrated during a recent rescue was a heartwarming sight.

The selfless acts of the workers and motorists did not go unnoticed, as many were quick to praise them for helping.

It would have been impossible for one person to turn the car back upright alone.
However, the workers and motorists were able to do so by working together to rescue the woman.
We applaud them for their selflessness and teamwork, and we wish the driver a speedy and smooth recovery from her injuries.
