A couple and their two dogs were rescued by strangers who formed a human chain after their car slid off an icy road and hung above a ravine.

Key Lessons

  • Passers-by stopped and worked together as a group instead of trying alone.
  • They formed a human chain to reach the family and bring them to safety.
  • General guidance: do not climb on or shake a car hanging over an edge, because extra weight can make it fall.
  • General guidance: slow down on icy or slippery roads, and call 112 before going near a crashed vehicle.

What Happened

Heavy snow and ice made the roads dangerous when a couple and their two dogs saw their car slide off the road and end up dangling above a ravine. A group of Good Samaritans formed a human chain and brought the family to safety, according to Inside Edition. The place is not named in the report.
