The injured victim tried exiting through the window, but her legs became stuck beneath the steering wheel. Mr. Allison reached inside the car and, after several attempts, managed to free the trapped victim. Messrs. McDonald and Stokes then assisted Mr. Allison in pulling her out of the vehicle and carrying her across the road to safety.
