This is the dramatic moment that dozens of Good Samaritans rushed to help a man, 61, after he was pinned between two cars.
Surveillance footage shows the moment a terrified Carlos Green tried to dive out of the way after a speeding stolen car slammed into another motorist, sending both vehicles careening off the road, straight for him.
The two cars smashed through a lamppost and hit a wall, pinning Green - who had been standing in between them - in the middle on Friday.
'Man those cars came out of nowhere and Carlos was just helpless,' Troy Robertson, who witnessed the crash and rushed to save his friend, told Fox.
Cops say the speeding Chevrolet had been stolen, and the driver and passenger were seen fleeing the scene - running past the 61-year-old who was screaming for help.
The woman who was driving the gold Cadillac they smashed into was not seriously hurt.
'Yeah, he tried to jump out of the way, but he just got pinned underneath the Cadillac. He definitely hurt his right leg. When I saw all that I screamed, "somebody help me help get this car off Carlos,"' Robertson said.
Robertson and his friend Orlando Gentry, both of whom work at a clothing shop across the street in Kansas City, rushed to help Green.
'We ran over there and just kept screaming 'somebody help us' and then we all just kept struggling at first, and then we finally got that car off him,' said Gentry.
Their efforts quickly drew attention, and more and more people arrived to help.
Within two minutes, around two dozen Good Samaritans were at the scene, to help lift the car and free Green.
The 61-year-old was rushed to hospital with a suspected broken leg.
But friends say he has already been released, on crutches with a cast, 'but he's okay and that's all that we cared about,' said Gentry.
Police are now hunting for the two suspected car thieves who are also wanted for the hit and run.
