A 76-year-old woman, Shirley Roberts, was recently involved in a serious car accident, flipping her vehicle over an embankment in Asheboro, North Carolina. Fortunately, Amazon delivery driver Amanda Smith happened to be in the area and spotted the crash while making deliveries. She wasted no time, calling 911 before going back to check on the elderly driver.
Smith's timely intervention led to other passersby also rushing to help Roberts. Emergency responders from Westside Fire and Rescue arrived on the scene minutes later and used specialized equipment to extract Roberts from the wrecked car, a process that took nearly half an hour.
Rescuers say that if Smith hadn’t come along when she did this might have been a more tragic crash. While the Amazon driver attributes her actions to instinct, Roberts’ daughter-in-law Eleanor believes a higher power led Smith to the scene. Roberts sustained injuries to her ribs, fingers, and neck, and is currently undergoing rehabilitation for her injuries, but is expected to fully recover.
