A local woman survived the crushing weight of a car after she was pinned underneath it, thanks to the efforts of a few Oceanside (CA) Police officers.
The incident happened in front of Nancy Nelson’s home on Mountain Vista Way in Oceanside around 9 a.m. on November 28.

The 3,000 pound Mitsubishi Galant had pinned her to the ground and parked on her pelvis.
She described the pain as “excruciating.”
Four neighbors attempted to lift the car without success.
Nelson said she was writhing in pain beneath the car but remembers the officers lifting the car off of her.
“He looked like he was Ironman. I mean, I thought this man is a god,” Nelson said, speaking of Sgt. John McKean.
McKean and his partner, Officer Tom Cahill were able to lift Nelson’s Mitsubishi with her neighbors help just enough to ease her pain.
She says she’s forever grateful but the officers told us, they were just happy to help.
