'I asked him to stay with me, but he was passing in and out, in and out, in and out.' 'I removed as much as possible and then he opened his eyes, which was a good sign,' said Drimba.

So I removed a few bricks just to see his face,' said Drimba.ĭrimba cleared the debris and spoke to the driver until FDNY arrived. Drimba scurried up a 6-foot pile of bricks and glass to help the 39-year-old driver through the shattered windshield.
