A Virginia deputy could be seen on video lifting up a car to free a woman trapped underneath.
Gloucester County Sheriff’s Deputy Jon Holt jumped into superhero mode after he saw an out-of-control car flip over last May.
Officials released bodycam video of the incident on Tuesday, and Holt spoke to 13 News Now about his efforts.
“So I was on the scene, I observed the vehicle upside down with one of the juvenile occupants outside the vehicle,” Holt told the local station.
As Holt bolts to the car, another child inside could be heard screaming that his mother was stuck.
“He said she can’t breathe and you know, calling to his mother… at that point her head was pinned underneath the vehicle,” Holt said.
After the deputy got the child out of the car, the body camera video fades to black, but the sound of Holt using all his might to lift the car is audible.
“At that point, I put my shoulder into the doorframe and braced as best I could and I said, ‘All I have to do is just stand up.’ That’s what all I was telling myself, and at that point with as much effort as I could, I tried to stand up and stood up enough so she could free herself and was able to start breathing,” Holt explained to 13 News Now.
The woman he saved is expected to recover.

I know my adrenaline was pumping after watching a car roll over right in front of me. Luckily she landed on her wheels - even with the adrenaline rush I probably wasn’t going to be lifting any vehicles!
Obviously racist. He lifted from the door crame, no-doubt he is prejudiced against the tires for being black.
Thank you, Gloucester County Sheriff’s Deputy Jon Holt. You’re a good soul.
As high schoolers a few of us would pick up VW Bugs and relocate them in the parking lot. “Now, where did I park today?”
The car was upside down.
