Car Crash Leaves Sheriff’s Deputy Dangling Off Highway, So Citizens Leap To The Rescue!
Yesterday, two sheriff’s deputies in Lubbock, Texas stopped to help someone stranded on the highway. But before they could finish helping the driver, a semi-truck hit the duo’s nearby patrol unit. This sent the car straight toward the deputies, leaving them pinned up against a guardrail on I-27. Help was on the way, but an unlikely group arrived on the scene first and saved the Texas deputy.
With one deputy dangling over the guardrail, there wasn’t any time to waste. Luckily, a group of nearby citizens gathered together to keep the man safe. In fact, they managed to lift him over the guardrail and back to safety. Witness the harrowing footage from this rescue mission in the video below.

“This is how people are supposed to treat each other,” someone pointed out in the comments. Other people added, “Even after being lifted over he held on to that man’s hand” and “Those people are heroes and should have their day. They need medals for putting their lives in danger and should be recognized in Lubbock. Thanks brothers.”

Soon after the deputy was brought back to solid ground, an ambulance arrived to take both men to the hospital. While their injuries are said to be serious, reports also say they are expected to be okay. As you’d imagine, the entirety of the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office are grateful for everyone who risked their own lives to save these two deputies. They shared this gratitude, along with details of the incident, in a Facebook post.
“Thank you Lubbock citizens for watching over our deputies,” the post reads. “… Additionally, we would like to remind everyone on the roadway to slow down and move over any time they see a vehicle parked on the side of the road.”
