A guy had driven his car up a 2x4 onto a cinder block and was attempting to change its oil. For some reason he left the car running and didn't put the parking brake on, which resulted in the car coming off of the cinder block and pinning him against the wall. What the video shows is how the movers lifted the car off of the guy.
After realizing what was going on, I dropped my camera, grabbed my first aid kit and went over to see if I could help. I was expecting some awful scene and wasn't really sure that if I could actually help but I figured it was worth a shot. It turns out that the guy was extremely lucky, he only injured his knee. I had a local run to the bar and grab some ice (I think everyone was surprised when I started barking orders...my crew chief training definitely took over). I waited with the injured man until the ambulance came and took him to the hospital to get checked out. Everyone was extremely grateful that I helped out. I even got lots of hugs!
The whole experience was something you only read about or see on youtube. It was so surprising to see it happen right outside my window and truly heartwarming to see how everyone ran to help.
