A group of good samaritans is being credited with saving the life of a motorcyclist who became trapped underneath a truck on a Southern California freeway.

The unidentified man was hit by a vehicle Friday afternoon, while headed eastbound on the 91 freeway in Corona, just west of the 71, according to Corona Fire Department Spokesman John DeYoe.

According to DeYoe, the motorcyclist was then trapped under the truck. Witnesses claim that the man was then dragged for some time before he was spotted.

“I see a pick up truck east bound just past Green River dragging what I thought might be a bumper,” Byron Holeman posted on Facebook. “I take a closer look and realize it is a human body underneath the truck.”

According to DeYoe, another witness— and rescuer— included a local firefighter.

“A Chino Valley firefighter was on his way to work and he pulled over and rendered aid,” DeYoe told Patch. “He got a jack, and was able to help lift the truck off him...with [the help of] some good samaritans.”

Incredibly, the man was pulled free and hospitalized with only minor injuries.

“The engine company on scene said he had some minor abrasions,” DeYoe said.

Holeman said once paramedics were called, he started recording the rescue scene, which he then posted to Facebook. As of Sunday morning, the Facebook video had been viewed more than 300,000 times.
