Bystanders and officers lifted a Volkswagen Beetle off the rider, who was hospitalized after surgery for a broken collarbone and other injuries.

  • On Monday morning, bystanders and Prospect Park police officers lifted a vintage Volkswagen Beetle to rescue a 44-year-old woman pinned after her e-bike collided with the vehicle at 11th Street and Lincoln Avenue.
  • Prospect Park Police Chief Dave Madonna reported the rider was traveling 20 to 25 mph without a helmet, attempting to pass a car at an intersection when the collision occurred.
  • Seven citizens, including local shop owner Christine Vollmer of CV Signs LLC and FedEx driver Karl Wise, banded together to lift the car, with Vollmer calling 911 during the emergency.
