Good Samaritans save sheriff’s deputies pinned against bridge barrier, with one dangling from overpass 

Lubbock, Texas, residents sprang into action to help two sheriff’s deputies who were pinned to the side of a bridge after their vehicle was hit by a semitruck Monday.

According to NBC News, Deputies Andrew Cavazos and Jorge Martinez were outside their vehicle helping a driver change a flat tire when the accident occurred.

Cavazos was seen dangling from the I-27 overpass, but local plumbers at a nearby gas station brought a ladder and ropes to help rescue him.

“There is no question … that lives were saved yesterday as a direct result of those citizens jumping in and helping,” Lubbock County Sheriff Kelly Rowe told local media.
