Several other motorists suddenly run up to help stop the slowly moving car as it nearly rolls into oncoming traffic.
One woman grabbed a dumbbell from her car and a man used it to smash the rear passenger's side window of the car. Another man then climbed through the window to unlock the passenger’s side door.
The good Samaritans were able to push the car to a nearby parking lot where a nurse who was on the phone with 911 rendered aid until paramedics arrived.
Police are trying to identify all of the good Samaritans who jumped in to help the woman in the hopes of recognizing them for their heroic efforts.
