    “She was pinned,” he recalled. “Her head was pinned in between the seat and the mangled up front end of the car. So I held her hand and I told her it’s OK, don’t move. Help’s on the way.”

    According to authorities the woman driving the SUV had several injuries including deep cuts and a shattered pelvis. The drunk driver in the Maserati only sustained cuts and bruises.
