The vehicle trailing directly behind the SUV kept driving despite the frightening saga.

But two brothers traveling close behind, Yvett Bañares-Tala and Ruben Tala, could be seen quickly pulling over and jumping into action as they rushed to help.
At one point, one of the good Samaritan brothers could be seen sprinting towards the SUV and clutching onto the door as one of the people inside waved their arms.
They frantically helped the two people, as well as their two dogs, climb out of the vehicle before first responders arrived on scene.
Miraculously, no one was injured.
