Marines Rush to Help Woman Pinned Under Car in Washington, DC
23 Nov 2020
Things could have gone tragically wrong for a woman who was hit by a vehicle and pinned underneath it this month as she rode a scooter in downtown Washington, D.C., but for the fact that the accident happened near the Marine barracks in the capital.
"I was just going to the chow hall to get some breakfast and we hear a Marine call out, 'A woman was just run over by a car,'" said Cpl. Denny Bohne of Guard Company, Marine Barracks Washington, on 8th and I Streets near the Navy Yard, in a video posted on Facebook of the dramatic rescue that followed. The accident happened a block away from the barracks.
Bohne and other Marines rushed to the car, removed the jack from the trunk and began lifting the back of the vehicle. Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Belko, who was the guard duty officer when the accident occurred on Nov. 7, used another jack that was handed to him by a passerby to lift the front of the car.
