Strangers picked up on the danger

The video started with the strangers finding a car on the road as it moved suspiciously slowly. People on the freeway picked up on the danger, approached the vehicle, and soon realised that the driver was unconscious. Putting two and two together, the people hurried to save the man.

Everyone brought their belongings to try to break the passenger seat glass as the car was locked from the inside. Many tried their hand at the glass with a skateboard, but a ray of hope shone when a guy brought out his hammer. The crowd advised the man in charge to break the car's rear window instead of the passenger one, since the shattering of the window could easily harm the unconscious civilian.

Check out the viral video below:

The group breathed a sigh of relief when the window was finally brought down and a man climbed into the car to unlock the doors. A concerned woman rushed to the driver¡¯s seat and flung open the car door to examine the man at the wheel, who was not unconscious anymore but looked disoriented.

On a closer look, the strangers predicted that the man had seemingly suffered a seizure while on the road and had been driving unconsciously since, as his foot was still placed on the exhilarator when he was found. The samaritans stayed with the man until medics arrived and handed in his phone to the officials. He was taken to the hospital and made a full recovery afterward, thanks to the kind people who helped him in the sticky situation.
