Danbury Police are highlighting the efforts of good Samaritans who responded to a car accident caused by a driver having a medical issue.  Last Sunday, a driver had a seizure and hit a parked car at the mall.  Both vehicles sustained heavy damage. 

The driver in medical distress was involuntarily depressing the gas pedal, and the engine was revving.  A passerby found the doors locked and retrieved a crowbar to break the window.  She and two others smashed the window, shut off the engine and helped the driver. 

Two of the civilian responders sustained cuts on their hands and police say risked their own safety to help someone in need.  The Danbury Police Department commended them for their selfless actions and willingness to render aid to someone in need. 

The driver was transported to the hospital for treatment.
