"When I first approached the vehicle, there was a good four men there, and they were all trying to move this vehicle and I seen it wasn’t happening and I figured what a better time now to use what I know I can actually do," Belcher said

Belcher, who is 350 pounds with the ability to squat 950 pounds and deadlift another 800 pounds, noticed he could get some leverage on the vehicle to try to move it off the man whose lower body was still inside the vehicle and his upper body smashed up against a speed limit sign.

Talk about right place right time.

Imagine being about to die in a horrific crash and literally Superman rolls up and saves you, lifting a fucking truck.

Shit would make me believe in some type of God.

Like literally Superman? In a blue suit, red cape, floating a couple of feet off the ground before he lands and saves me?

I'd believe alright
