Oregon Firefighters Lift Car Off Pinned Cyclist

(AP)  
PORTLAND, Ore. - A crew of firefighters in Portland, Ore., used brute strength to lift up a 3,200-pound car and free a man pinned under it.
The rescue, which took about two minutes, came just before rush hour Thursday morning, after witnesses called 911.
The Oregonian reports that police interviewed witnesses and determined the man had been riding a bicycle when he made an illegal lane change and was struck by a car. Another vehicle then rolled over the man and pinned him face-down in a busy intersection.
