Two young children reportedly were pinned under a car in a Sunday accident

It may have been the quick thinking of an unknown person who rescued two young children pinned under the car in a Lakewood accident on Sunday, according to The Lakewood Scoop.

The Lakewood Scoop has pictures of the man and is asking if anybody knows him.

The two young children were reportedly unconscious when they were pulled from under the vehicle.

The man immediately got out of his car, popped the trunk of the vehicle which was on top of the children, removed the car’s jack, and began jacking up the car, according to The Lakewood Scoop.
