Check out the video below of a Virginia deputy lifting a vehicle off a woman to save her life!! Deputy Jon Holt with the Gloucester Sheriffâs Office was responding to an overturned vehicle with the driver trapped underneath the SUV with her head pinned by the sunroof and his bodycam footage shows him spring into action to free her.
Holt is seen running to the SUV and the womanâs daughter is heard yelling, âShe canât breatheâ and her son is crying âMommy.â The deputy remains calm as he coaxes the boy out, saying, âCome here buddy.â And then Holt uses Herculean strength to lift the SUV, which weighs more than 4-thousand pounds,ALL BY HIMSELF! Itâs just a few seconds, but itâs long enough for her to get free.
The Army veteran says his military training kicked in when he needed it most. âI donât know if it was sheer adrenaline, sheer will, but I knew what I had to do,â Holt recalls. âItâs what we train for and Iâm no hero. Iâm just an average cop who gets put in extraordinary situations.â
