As a driver traversed a busy intersection in Boynton Beach, Fla., a medical episode occurred. A group of good Samaritans stepped in, saving her and everyone on the road from a potentially deadly accident.
Soon after, a band of strangers put their bodies in the way of the vehicle to stop it from moving further into the intersection, and aided in redirecting traffic.
The group was then able to break a window with a dumbbell and enter her vehicle, authorities said. They moved her car safely to a convenience store and called 911, where she received medical attention."She's fine. She's OK," Slater said."I was told that she was at work today." The driver's employer reached out to the police for assistance in finding the people who helped her. That's when authorities looked through traffic camera footage of the incident and released it to the public.
While the police department has been able to locate some of the people involved, they declined to release any more information at this time. The police are planning for the good Samaritans to be recognized publicly for their efforts.Keep up with all the latest news, arts and culture, and TV highlights from KPBS.
