It's no 3-ton backhoe, but still ...
Tom Boyle of Tucson couldn't believe what he was seeing: A boy hit by a car, then pinned underneath it. "I was just like, 'Oh my God.' You think things like that only happen in movies," he later told the Arizona Daily Star.
Boyle took action. He lifted the Chevrolet Camaro up high enough so that the driver could pull 18-year-old Kyle Holtrust away. Then Boyle held the teen until help arrived. Holtrust suffered head and leg injuries. He's expected to recover, the Daily Star reports.
"All I could think is, what if that was my son," Boyle said. "I'd want someone to do the same for him, to take the time and rub his head and make him feel good until help arrived."
