She Hulk Lifts Car Off Her Father!



Lauren's father, Alec, was working on his car, a BMW 525i. The jack slipped and the car fell on top of him. Lauren was on her way out the door when she came upon him, unconscious and crushed.
It happened Saturday on Lincolnshire Court near Old Nuckols Road. 
"As I go to open the garage door I hear a primal scream, like…dial 911!" said Lauren's mother, Liz.
That scream was 22-year-old Lauren discovering her father.
"There was no tire," said Lauren. Seconds later, she did what most would consider unthinkable, she moved a car weighing a ton and a half off her father's body. 
 "I just lifted up kind of right here and just kind of threw it, shoved my body as hard as I could then I came back and dragged him out and started CPR," Lauren said.  "It flashed like, I'm going to lose my dad." His eyes were open, he wasn't responding to me. I knew I had to get his heart beating again and I had to get him breathing."


"She got his heart beating again and got him breathing again," said Lauren's mother. "So, she's it. He gave her life and then he gave her life. I am in awe of her. I am in awe of her. She is the day. She saved the day. I can't even tell you how proud I am of her."
Alec's doctors didn't want him to speak on camera just yet, because he's still in the ICU.  He has several broken ribs, some numbness, and other fractures, but nothing that appears to be permanent damage. 
He also asked us to share this statement: "I'm just so lucky and proud that I have daughters that can perform CPR and have the knowledge to save lives. I think it's an important skill for everyone to know and if it weren't for Lauren I would not be alive today."

  1. It's not unheard of, but still amazing how she could lift a car. I wonder if anybody can do it if they're in the right state of mind or if their are some specific requirements like bone density, muscle resistance, adrenaline output, something like that
