A video with almost 129 million views shows a group of strangers led by the victim's co-worker helping a woman who passed out while driving.
The Good Samaritans have been hailed as heroes after the woman suffered convulsions that could have been attributed to medicine she recently started taking, reports NBC News.
The dramatic video captured on CCTV footage released by Florida police shows the woman's co-worker rushing out of her vehicle to attempt to stop the victim's car and warn others.
According to VT, once the vehicle was stopped by a group of people they attempted to break a window and help the unconscious woman.

Rich Herrell says:
"I've been that victim more than once. Thank u to everyone who helped. Bless your hearts."

Young South African man shows selflessness to help a truck driver stuck in a huge pothole, Mzansi loves it
Close to home a young man recently helped a truck driver who got into a spot of bother, Briefly News reports.
Perhaps it's because kind gestures like the one explained below are not as common anymore, but social media loved seeing a fellow South African helping another.
The driver, who was travelling on a stretch between Delmas and Endicott, posed with Van Tonder for a photograph after the good samaritan had helped him.
Mpumalanga is known for having bad road surfaces and residents in the province have long complained about the state of roads riddled with potholes. Thankfully for the Bogdans truck driver, Van Tonder was close by to offer assistance and help get the huge Iveco truck out of danger from the pothole.
