A group of people lifted an SUV off a woman trapped underneath it on St. Mary’s Road and Fermor Avenue Wednesday morning.
Security footage from Juniors Restaurant captured what happened. At 7:08 a.m. a woman was seen biking down the sidewalk towards the intersection. Seconds later an SUV is seen driving through the intersection, almost hitting a van before slamming into a car.
The collision caused the SUV to go out of control and flip onto its side pinning the cyclist who was biking across the intersection.

“When I pulled up, the truck was already flipped over… and I noticed a bike there,” Cliff Ducharme, who ran to help the people involved said.
“When I came over…I saw the lady laying on the ground and she was pinned underneath the truck. Some bystanders stopped, lifted the truck up and put the paper box underneath to hold it up. Everyone gathered around to comfort her until the fire trucks came.”

The area has since reopened but it remained closed for more than 10 hours as Winnipeg police investigated.
