The videos — captured on Sept. 3, 2018 — show officers responding to a man pinned underneath a car, “being crushed and struggling to breathe under its weight,” police said in social media posts.

Nine officers worked together to lift the vehicle off the man, “allowing him to breathe until he could be pulled from underneath.” The officers held the vehicle aloft for one minute, 44 seconds.

The officers involved were recognized last week at the SPS Exemplary Service Awards. This week is National Police Week.
