Human chain formed to save woman on Main Street Ellicott City flooding
The courage displayed by a group of men to rescue a woman trapped in her car is nothing short of heroic. The man in the video shown being knocked down was able to recover his footing and get back to the rescue. Here is what was posted from The Still Life Gallery:
"Last night there was a devastating flood that destroyed the Historic District of Ellicott City. Many people sought refuge in the foyer of our business. One of them was a true Hero, Jason Barnes, who risked his life to save a woman who's car was being washed down Main St. He is lucky to be alive as he was almost washed away while rescuing Jaime Knight. "
This video from The Still Life Gallery shows the action.
Two people were not so lucky on Saturday.
