A hefty bystander at a road accident in southern Arizona heaved a car clean off a trapped teenage cyclist, possibly saving his life, police said.
Eighteen-year-old Kyle Holtrust was struck by a car as he pedaled along a Tucson highway late on Wednesday and pinned beneath it, city police said.
Tucson paintshop worker Tom Boyle grabbed the Chevrolet Camaro car and lifted it, allowing the driver to haul the injured cyclist clear.
"He lifted that side of the car completely off the ground," police spokesman Frank Amado said.
Amado said Holtrust was being treated in hospital and was expected to make a full recovery.
Local media said Boyle is 1.93 metres tall and weighs 136kg.
"It was outstanding," Amado said. "It is quite unusual to have that strength."

Why did that idiot in the car keep hold of him? He nearly dragged him under the wheels.

I don't see any cowboy hats, gun racks, or french fries in any of these images. Where are the Americans?
