CCTV video has emerged of several students from Layton Christian Academy, located in Layton, a suburb of Salt Lake City, lifting a vehicle under which a mother and her two-year-old son had been trapped, the Western Journal reports.
On Tuesday afternoon (Dec 5, 2023), a woman walking with her two children was struck by a car, resulting in the three being trapped under the vehicle.
The mother, Bridgette Ponson, was an employee at the school.
Though the three-year-old was able to free herself, Bridgette and her son remained pinned by the weight of the car.
In an interview with KSTU-TV, Chris Crowder, the school principal and associate pastor, noticed that a few kids from the school gathered around a vehicle.
After running outside to check what was going on, Crowder saw the mother and child trapped under the car. He rushed back into the school shouting for students to come outside and lift the car.
With the help of between 20 and 30 students, they were able to lift the car high enough so an airman from the Hill Air Force Base was able to drag the two out from underneath the car.
Incredibly, neither the mother nor son had life-threatening injuries, even though the two-year-old had tire marks on the back of his clothes. Though Bridgette required surgery, the doctor attending the two described it as a miracle.
Layton Christian Academy has over 300 students representing 40 different countries.
