A group of Georgia high school football players recently rescued a woman trapped inside a vehicle after a car accident.
The brave students–Antwion Carey, Alto Moore, Cesar Parker, Treyvon Adams, Tyson Brown and Messiah Daniels–saved a woman trapped inside her car after a crash. The “potentially fiery” crash reportedly took place in front of them as they were headed to their Rome, Georgia, high school.
“It was right in front of me. I turned off the car and jumped out, and said, ‘Hey look, let’s go help her.’ The woman was leaning over into the passenger seat, begging for help. She had blood on her face and was screaming,” Adams recalled. At the time, he was reportedly driving himself and the other five teens to school when they came across the accident.
He added that Brown and Moore rushed to the woman’s passenger side door and tried to pull it off to no avail.
“The vehicle was smoking, the fluids were leaking, and I could tell it was about to catch fire had the police not got there quickly, which they did,” he said.
After failed attempts at opening the passenger side door, the boys reportedly ran to the driver’s side door and tried to pry it open. Thankfully, they succeeded and pulled the woman out of her car and walked her to the grass.
“They literally started using their strength to pry the door open, so the lady could be released,” Luis Goya–a math teacher at their school who witnessed their heroism, said.
Rome Police said the unnamed car crash victim was brought to a local hospital, where she was treated for cuts and bruises. The department’s Assistant Chief Debbie Burnett revealed that a small silver car swerved and hit a white SUV as the car was trying to avoid hitting another one being driven by a teenager.
