A group of Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters lifted a car off of a homeless man after he and a woman were struck by a suspected DUI driver Saturday morning on Skid Row.
The collision was reported about 4:19 a.m. in the 1000 block of 7th Street, according to fire officials. The vehicle drove onto a sidewalk where the victims were sleeping, struck the woman and pinned the man, Los Angeles police said.
News video showed a good Samaritan and seven firefighters lifting the vehicle with their bare hands while two other firefighters pulled the victim to safety.
Police said the man was in critical condition with a collapsed lung and back injury, and the woman suffered minor injuries.
