Prospect Park Borough honored bystanders who lifted a Volkswagen Beetle off a woman pinned underneath after her e-bike and the car collided, CBS Philadelphia reported. The honor came at a borough meeting. Among the people named were Albert Laing Jr. and Karl Wise.
The woman, 44, was taken to a hospital with a chest injury. Police Chief Dave Madonna said the group had no special equipment and no special training, and that they put themselves in the street to lift the car. Laing said it felt like a team, each person taking a part. The recognition does not change the fact that she was hurt.
