Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (WSVN) – A woman in Südflorida who reunited herself with the construction workers and first aiders who came to their rescue after being held under a car under a car in Fort Lauderdale.

The victim of the crash of November 30th, which wanted to be identified as Beth, was to those present on Saturday at the ceremony on the Medals Day 2025, where several members of the Fort Lauderdale fire brigade were honored for their heroic actions.

The best thing to do is to show her face in front of the camera, said her memory was deleted by these terrible moments at the end of last year.

“I have no memory of it. God took the whole memory away from me, so I don't remember it,” she said.

Beth said everything happened when she was on her morning walk along the 500 block of the Seabreeze Boulevard

“Someone rapid at 6:30 a.m. and a car pulled out in front of him and the frenzied car rolled on me,” she said.

A group of construction workers and Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue Crews hurried to physically raise the vehicle from Beth.

Hugo Toro was one of these workers. He spoke to 7News about a translator.

“I see that the person underneath was moving. When I moved them, I shouted:” She lives “and started calling people to gather,” he said. “Some of us were there and some police officers started to raise the car.”

“I would have been dead without helping me,” said Beth. “We wouldn't talk about it here. They could have hurt themselves, but they jumped into action and helped.”

Beth had the opportunity to thank her rescuer for the first time on Saturday.

For Toro this was the first time that he knew that his efforts saved her life.

“That always stayed with me. Then when they were invited and I saw them, of course, I just started thanking God,” he said.

Toro and several FRFR members were honored at the ceremony, which was organized by 7news Anker and Deco Drive presenter Lynn Martinez.

These first aiders react to more than 56,000 calls a year, but for Beth he meant a call.

“It was a miracle that they were there to help, a miracle they did and God paid attention to me,” she said.

Beth said she still had a long way to recover. She still has an operation left, but she said she was getting better every day.
