Woman freed after crash thanks rescuers; Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue members honored

VIDEO: A South Florida woman reunited with the construction workers and first responders who came to her rescue after she found herself pinned beneath a car in Fort Lauderdale. The victim of the Nov. 30 crash, who asked to be identified as Beth, was among those present on Saturday at the 2025 Medals Day ceremony, where several Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue members were honored for their heroic actions. Beth, who asked not to show her face on camera, said her memory has been erased of those terrifying moments late last year. โ€œI donโ€™t have memory of it. God took all the memory away from me, so I donโ€™t remember it,โ€ she said. Beth said it all happened while she was out on her morning walk along the 500 block of Seabreeze Boulevard. โ€œSomebody was speeding at 6:30 in the morning, and a car pulled out in front of him, and the speeding car rolled on top of me,โ€ she said.
