'The best part of my job is telling stories that yearn to be told.'
SAN DIEGO - A Tierrasanta woman and her father are hoping to track down some good Samaritans after a hit-and-run crash left the two trapped in a car filling up with smoke.Friedman is overcome with emotion whenever she thinks her trip to Starbucks last Saturday afternoon.
She was in the passenger seat, her 81-year-father, Arnold, at the wheel of a Honda sedan, as they drove on Clairemont Mesa Blvd., approaching Antigua Blvd.The massive collision caused the airbags to deploy.“I was panicking, and I was trying to get out of the car,” said Arnold.“Then I hear a woman’s voice next to me, ‘You have to get out. It's smoking. You have to get out.’ I said, 'I can't move,’” said Jodi.
Jodi's memory is hazy but she does remember a white shirt and arms, as the woman pulled her out of the car and brought her to safety. She also recalls the woman mentioning someone else, possibly a husband, chasing after the other driver. Police later told her a good Samaritan helped detain him.Jodi and her father suffered a host of painful bruises and sprains, but they know that end result could have been much worse, if not for one woman's quick actions as the car began to smoke."This is the day before Father's Day, and I thought, ‘I have another Father's Day,’” said Arnold.“Just want to say thank you.
