The Buzz: Boynton Beach Police looking for group of Good Samaritans

An incident happened May 5 on Woolbright Road

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. — Boynton Beach Police Department is looking for a group of Good Samaritans who helped a woman suffering a medical episode while driving last week. 

Police say the incident happened at Woolbright Road when the woman's car started drifting into the intersection with her slumped over the steering wheel.

Several of her coworkers and complete strangers ran to her rescue, one woman using a dumbbell from her car to smash the rear passenger side window. 

BBPD is hoping those who helped will come forward so they can recognize the heroes and reunite them with the woman they saved. If you or someone you know is in the video please contact Stephanie Slater at slaters@bbfl.us.

Good Samaritans help driver suffering medical episode

UPDATE: You all work fast! We have been put in touch with several of the Good Samaritans. We are coordinating everyone’s schedules to get them together with the woman they rescued. We will let you know once it’s confirmed. Thank you. 💙 If you watch any video in your feed today, make it this one. A group of Good Samaritans sprang into action on May 5 to help a woman who suffered a medical episode while driving on Woolbright Road. As her car slowly entered the intersection at Congress Avenue, her co-worker raced across the street waving her arms to get the attention of other motorists. Her co-worker was in another car and saw her slumped over the steering wheel. Several people got out of their cars and worked together to stop the moving car. One woman grabbed a dumbbell from her car and a man used it to smash the rear passenger’s side window. Another man then climbed through the window to unlock the passenger’s side door. The car was then put in park and the Good Samaritans pushed it to a nearby 7-Eleven parking lot where a nurse who was on the phone with 911 provided medical attention until the fire department arrives. We are sharing this video in hopes of learning the identities of all the strangers who came together to save this woman’s life. They are heroes and we want to bring them back together at the police department to recognize them and meet the woman they rescued. We need your help to do this. If you or someone you know is in this video or helped in any way, please contact PIO Stephanie Slater at slaters@bbfl.us.
