The SUV flipped three times before ending up on its roof in the parking lot near the 7-Eleven, he said. Williams said he dropped his drink and his bag, running to help with another bystander. But the driver was trapped.
"We was trying to rip the door apart so we could try to at least get her body out... the car was so smashed in. It was so, so smashed into it. We couldn't do nothing until the paramedics came," he said. "The paramedics came quite fast, though."
