Firefighter Matthew MacEwen and two off-duty police officers were truly at the right place at the right time and were able to save a life from an unbelievable accident.
The three witnessed a Hyundai Sonata run over a teenage pedestrian in Waltham, MA, one Thursday afternoon, and quickly jumped into action, like the New York firefighter who saved a 3-week-old baby from an attic.
"The car shot came up from the left and as soon as I got out of my car, I realized the girl was trapped underneath," MacEwen told WCVB Channel 5 Boston.
The girl was walking with an 18-year-old gentleman when the car zoomed by and hit them. The teenage girl was dragged across the street and remained unable to move while under the vehicle.
As you’ll see in the footage below, the driver was screaming in panic after she realized what had just occurred. Thankfully, Officer Jeffrey Fogg immediately thought of a clever way to lift the car. The quick thinking and group effort helped the 14-year-old survive the crash.
"Obviously all their training, the three of them, kicked in and quite possibly saved her life. It was a great job," Fire Chief Paul Ciccone told the news station.
