WPTV News reports that a driver in Boynton Beach, Florida, passed out while stopped at a busy intersection. The car kept rolling forward. Another driver noticed and jumped out of her own car in the middle of heavy traffic to try to stop it. More people joined her and surrounded the car at great risk to their own lives in an effort to stop it.
Eventually, they are able to smash open a window with a dumbbell, unlock the car doors, and get to the driver. Among these rescuers was a nurse who attended to the driver until firefighters arrived on the scene.
