【Scarlett Fay Archives】

It's the stuff of nightmares,Scarlett Fay Archives really. And if it happened to you, you'd want these nice strangers around.

Footage from Sydney, Australia on Monday has captured the moment a man's car spiralled out of control on a major road in the city's west. After allegedly collapsing at the wheel, the man's foot seemed to remain on the accelerator, causing it to spin.

Other drivers responded by getting out of their car and lending support -- trying to stop the swirling four wheel drive.

In video obtained of the incident by 7 News, at least two fellow motorists can be seen trying to pry open the driver's door of the moving vehicle, with the driver inside.

Taking on a spinning four wheel drive is probably not how these good samaritans thought they'd spend the day.
