Colleton County Fire-Rescue
A woman whose hands were crushed by her car while she was changing a tire on the side of a road managed to save herself by using her toes to call 911.
A 54-year-old woman from North Carolina suffered a flat tire on a dark section of I-95 in Colleton County, South Carolina, just before 7 p.m. on Sunday evening when she pulled over into the breakdown lane to inspect it.
The unnamed woman then removed the flat tire and began replacing it with the spare she kept in her car when the unthinkable happened.

“The jack slipped causing the car to fall, crushing both of her hands between the tire and the fender,” said Colleton County Fire-Rescue [CCFR] in a statement. “She was trapped alone on the side of the dark interstate, experiencing excruciating pain.”
For 35 minutes the woman was stuck with the weight of the car crushing her hands but she was somehow able to slip off one of her shoes during the incident and dial 911 with her toes to inform the emergency services about her predicament. Authorities arrived 8 minutes later.

“[Colleton County Fire-Rescue] used a prybar without success and then deflated the tire to remove the air, however the car jut dropped as the tire deflated,” said CCFR. “Using the prybar, they were able to free one hand.”
A fire engine arrived a short time later and, using a hydraulic spreader, were able to free her other hand.

Thule Greenland but after 2 years I was quite done with that..but I would rather be there than Dubai.
affordable care act made healthcare less affordable
i almost feel like we shouldn't give government more control over our lives if this keeps happening
they can't even properly handle their duties running Veterans Affairs
it is also an absolute disaster
but hey what do I know........I'm not a masochistic idiot who begs for more punishment and pain

if it was free we wouldn't have to work so hard
we could just wait in line forever like other universal health care systems
that much better use of my time tbh
time = money but i don't have $$$$$$ they say
