This is the heartwarming moment motorists work together to help a woman who suffered a medical episode behind the wheel at a busy intersection in Florida.
Road users worked together to smash a rear window to unlock the passenger door and assist the woman.
Boynton Beach Police Department said on May 11: โYou all work fast! We have been put in touch with several of the Good Samaritans. We are coordinating everyoneโs schedules to get them together with the woman they rescued. We will let you know once itโs confirmed.
โIf you watch any video in your feed today, make it this one. A group of Good Samaritans sprang into action on May 5 to help a woman who suffered a medical episode while driving on Woolbright Road.

โAs her car slowly entered the intersection at Congress Avenue, her co-worker raced across the street waving her arms to get the attention of other motorists. Her co-worker was in another car and saw her slumped over the steering wheel.
โSeveral people got out of their cars and worked together to stop the moving car. One woman grabbed a dumbbell from her car and a man used it to smash the rear passengerโs side window. Another man then climbed through the window to unlock the passengerโs side door.โ

The police said: โThe car was then put in park and the Good Samaritans pushed it to a nearby 7-Eleven parking lot where a nurse who was on the phone with 911 provided medical attention until the fire department arrives.
โWe are sharing this video in hopes of learning the identities of all the strangers who came together to save this womanโs life. They are heroes and we want to bring them back together at the police department to recognize them and meet the woman they rescued.โ
The police asked for the publicโs support in tracking down the Good Samaritans.
