Footage filmed from a vantage point shows the tense moments that preceded the timely rescue.
Three men can be seen crouching near the car’s open window as they work against the clock to free the driver.

Someone can be heard shouting “get her out” as the vehicle begins moving forward.
The men finally manage to pull the woman from the tight gap a split-second before the powerful torrent sweeps her car down the road.
The current is so strong that the vehicle is slammed into a wall at speed.
People in the background can be heard panicking as the car is then swept further down the road.
The tense scenes were filmed on Thursday (12 Sep) in Barranquilla, Colombia.
The city has been battered by heavy rain due to a tropical wave over the region, with more downpour expected this week.
September and October are Barranquilla’s wettest months, as reported by Need To Know.
Local disaster prevention chief Nelson Oquendo said: “We’d like to take this opportunity to remind the entire community to avoid throwing rubbish or large items into drains, canals, and waterways.
“These cause sudden surges and, as a result, the flooding that harms us so much.”
