CAPE CORAL, Fla. (WSVN) — Cape Coral police officers demonstrated incredible strength and determination as they saved a man trapped under his own car.On Monday evening, Carlos Romero was assisting his father-in-law, Francisco, with a car repair project in their Cape Coral driveway. As they worked on replacing the transmission cable, the only thing supporting the car were ramps, which unexpectedly failed, causing the car to collapse onto Francisco.Desperate to free his father-in-law, Romero tried everything he could think of, including using another jack to lift the car slightly. “Then I grabbed another jack from that car and that one was better. At least I had the car a little separate from the body,” said Romero.However, as Francisco lay unconscious and barely breathing, the situation grew increasingly dire.“But if that had continued to weigh on him like that, he probably would have lost his life,” said Mercedes Phillips, with Cape Coral Police.
