No drivers or passengers on the highway were injured.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I realized there were no other cars around that were hit, and I thought, how did that happen?&#8221; Terry asked, with Ken calling it &#8220;a miracle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The group of people is captured on video lifting the chopper as paramedics free Smith.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We just ran up to it and found a spot to grab onto the helicopter and just pushed and lifted it best we could, we had to lift it up,&#8221; said Ken.<\/p>\n<p>Another driver, Priscilla Cochran-Navarra, also ran to help. She was in the first row of cars <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/sacramento\/video\/dash-cam-video-captures-sacramento-medical-helicopter-crash-on-highway-50\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">that slammed on their brakes as the chopper came crashing down<\/a> before her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A few of us tried to lift the helicopter at first and, initially, when I felt how heavy, like there was no movement, it wouldn&#8217;t budge at all. But when fifteen people or so came to do it, it was just seemed like the impossible became possible,&#8221; said Cochran-Navarra.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, Cochran-Navarra  also says she was the first to get to Smith&#8217;s side, comforting the nurse as she was pinned and pleading for help.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I lay down on the ground, and I just tell her, &#8216;You&#8217;re alive. You&#8217;re alive. Just stay still.&#8217; I said, &#8216;You&#8217;re not alone. I&#8217;m not going to leave you. You&#8217;re not alone.&#8217; It was just crazy. It was crazy. Sorry, I keep playing it. She&#8217;s screaming for help, like, &#8216;Help me. Help me,&#8217; &#8221; said Cochran-Navarra through tears.<\/p>\n<p>She said she was proud to see her city come together in that moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was good to see Sacramento united,&#8221; said Cochran-Navarra. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever felt that since 9\/11, you know? At that time, everyone came together. It didn&#8217;t matter what you did, who you are, who you love, who you prayed to. None of that made a difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These good Samaritans say they were grateful they were in the right place at the right time to help and that no one was injured.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My first thought was, how amazing. And I mean this sincerely, that nobody questioned. Everybody was just like, these are human beings that need us, and everybody just ran to help them,&#8221; said Terry.<\/p>\n<p>Cochran-Navarra said her prayer is to reunite with Smith after she hopefully makes a full recovery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope that I&#8217;m able just to, just to tell her how incredibly happy I am that she&#8217;s alive and and I would tell her I&#8217;m so grateful that I was able to help her,&#8221; said Cochran-Navarra through tears.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
