A weightlifter in Detroit is being called a hero after the man lifts a car off of a victim trapped underneath. Ryan Belcher is a power lifter. He works out 5 days a week and it known for being able to lift a large amount of weight.
Well, all of that training came in handy one afternoon while Ryan was at work. He heard a large smash outside on the road. When he ran to check, he discovered a car had flipped upside down and a woman was lying in the lane.
Then, he heard a man begging for help from underneath the vehicle. The stranger was trapped with no way to escape. In that moment, Ryan did not hesitate to take action. He mustered up every ounce of strength he could and lifted the car off of the victim. A car weighs several thousand tons, but that was not an obstacle for Ryan.
“All the power that I’ve used, all the training that I’ve been through, this is the time when it’s really going to pay off in a good way.”
His quick thinking and training saved the trapped man. He was definitely put in the right place at the right time and I’m so glad that he didn’t think twice after stepping in.
While some people are calling Ryan a hero, he’s not so sure. He was just glad that he could provide assistance when someone’s life was on the line. What an amazing man and we’re so thankful that everyone is going to be okay.
