Tucson, Arizona resident Tom Boyle lifted a car with his bare hands to save a young fellow trapped underneath it. Kyle Holtrust, 18, was riding his bike in Tucson when the Camaro hit him and he was dragged for 20 or 30 feet. Boyle and his wife happened to be driving by when the accident occurred. No word on the gamma radiation levels at the scene. From an Arizona Daily Star article:
"I didn't believe what I saw," Boyle said Thursday. "I didn't believe it until my wife said something, and I was just like, 'Oh my God.' You think things like that only happen in movies…."
Holtrust was pinned underneath his bike, which was pinned underneath the car, said Boyle, who is 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 300 pounds.
"As soon as I get to the car, the boy is just screaming his head off, and I could tell he was in a lot of pain," Boyle said. "As I was lifting the front end of the car off of him, he was just saying, 'Mister, mister, higher, higher.'
Then when it was high enough, he said, 'OK. I can't move. Get me out.' "
