Saw that! Glad to hear he will be OK. I assume you noticed it was an E60 that had hit him...

I did. Considering the ground clearance it's amazing he wasn't crushed. Yeah. Glad he's ok.

It was a non-sport so luckily it wasn't lower.

I just watched that on CNN ... the guy is lucky ... and that amazing collection of people willing to brave a burning accident, lift a car, and drag him to safety!

That's special!

He's really lucky the e60 wasn't sport with low profile tires. I once tried to crawl under my car, and my head would not clear the undercarriage. There are truly good and brave people out there. God bless.
