Dallas rescuers lift car off motorcyclist

Policemen, fire fighters and residents combined in Dallas, Texas to save the life of a motorcyclist caught under a vehicle after a car crash.

Dallas Police Department released video of the amazing feat that took place on the evening of July 9, 2015. The motorcycle in question collided with a vehicle at Greenville Avenue and Bryan Parkway and police were incredibly quick to respond, arriving just thirty seconds later.

Police officers at first tried to just a jack to raise the vehicle off the motorcyclist. After that failed, and with the female motorcyclist struggling to breath, policemen, members of Dallas Fire Rescue and local witnesses got together and lifted the vehicle themselves.

The victim was successfully pulled out from underneath and rushed to hospital.

She sustained no major injuries from the crash.
