The heroic teamwork was captured on video by one of the players, Regan Magill.

“We stopped because we care about others before ourselves. We wanted to know if they were okay. It wasn’t really something we thought about. We just instantly pulled over,”  team member Regan Magill told CBS Dallas/Fort Worth. It wasn’t really something we thought about. We just instantly pulled over.”
