Richard Ponce says he was driving nearby when he heard the crash.<\/p>\n
“It was a lot of screaming, a lot of yelling, a lot of people freaking out. Like smashing hits because so many were hitting the car trying to get it open and like 10 to 15 minutes later that’s when you hear the first sirens coming.”<\/p>\n
Ponce says when he pulled over, he saw multiple people get out of their own cars to help the women trapped inside. He remembers the bystanders working to pry the car doors open before emergency crews got there.<\/p>\n
He says it was a good thing to see so many people helping.<\/p>\n
