6'4 300 lbs man lifts car to save boys life

Holtrust became trapped under the car, along with his bike, and was dragged for about 20 to 30 feet before John Baggett, who was driving the car, came to a stop.

"As soon as I get to the car, the boy is just screaming his head off, and I could tell he was in a lot of pain," Boyle said. "As I was lifting the front end of the car off of him, he was just saying, 'Mister, mister, higher, higher.'
Then when it was high enough, he said, 'OK. I can't move. Get me out.' "

Boyle said he began yelling to Baggett to pull Holtrust out, but he didn't respond.
"I yelled at him like four or five times, and then he reached underneath and pulled him out," Boyle said. "The driver must've been in shock, and he couldn't seem to come out of it."

Once Boyle put the car down, he held Holtrust until the Tucson police and fire departments arrived, he said.

:Q

Definitely a good read Regs, thanks :beer:
 
I like how the kid gets cited, even after being hit, and the guy only gets cited for driving with a suspended license, not arrested.
 
Kudos to the guy for stopping. Maybe the kid will not ride against traffic anymore (I learned after I got knocked by a car, thank god I wasn't drug under it).

Suspended license is actually a very serious crime. In most states, you will lose your license for 6 months to a year, along with many other implications.
 
We had a local case like that - HS football player's dad rolled a tractor end-over-end. Dude PICKED UP THE FRIGGIN' TRACTOR.

He was a strong dude, but not THAT strong - later on, he even went back to try it again, and failed. Abnormal circumstances appear to cause abnormal strength due to abnormal hormone production, or something.

Is that a credible source? I remember hearing something like this years ago, but it was a woman instead.

There was also one about a chopper crash in Hawaii where a guy lifted a *helicopter* to get the pilot out. I've seen it on TV a couple times.

Adrenaline can do amazing things. You're likely gonna hurt like hell afterwards, though 😛

Kid likely caused the accident. Did you read the beginning? You know, the part where it was 8:30P?
 
Darwin is smiling
Maybe the kid will learn not to ride against traffic and without any lights
Props to the guy who saved him, though
