Volkswagen Beetle lifted off trapped e-bike rider caught on video

A group of strangers and police officers rushed to lift a Volkswagen Beetle off an injured e-bike rider after she became trapped beneath the car during a crash on a busy Pennsylvania road, dramatic body camera video shows.

Local authorities said the 44-year-old woman suffered several broken bones in Monday morning’s crash in Prospect Park but survived after roughly six bystanders joined officers to lift the vehicle and pull her to safety, FOX 29 reported.

Prospect Park Police Chief Dave Madonna said the woman was riding an e-bike more than 20 mph, according to his estimate, without a helmet when she collided with the Volkswagen at an intersection along Route 420.

“She was driving way too fast for that time of day, for the road she was traveling on,” Madonna said, adding that he believed she had been trying to overtake vehicles while traveling to an appointment.

Surveillance and police body camera video shows bystanders rushing to the crash to help.

About six people then work together to lift the car high enough to free the woman trapped underneath.

“Got a yell to help, ran over. We lifted the Volkswagen Beetle up, pulled the girl out and pushed her to the ground so she wouldn’t move, that’s all,” FedEx driver Carl Wise told the station.

“I’m no hero. I’m just a guy doing a job, that’s all,” he added.

Local business owner Chrissy Vollmer, who also responded, described what she saw.

“All I saw were the lady’s legs underneath the car, and she was just yelling, ‘Get this car off of me,’” Vollmer said.

Madonna called the bystanders who helped rescue the woman “heroes” and later visited them to offer his thanks.

He also raised concerns about what he described as an increase in e-bike crashes.

“How many more tragedies do we have to see before some type of action is taken?” Madonna said.

The woman was taken to Lankenau Hospital and underwent surgery for a broken collarbone and other injuries, FOX 29 reported.
