Siri saves Tennessee teen who was pinned under truck

Sam Ray, 18, of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, was reportedly working underneath his truck on the day of July 2, when the jack gave out, bringing all 5,000 pounds of vehicle down on top of him, the news site reports.

The man’s life was saved thanks to his iPhone and the friendly voice of Siri.

There are no reports as to his current condition, but it’s a pleasant reminder of how you might be able to cry for help while all alone and still be heard.

Ray told media outlets that he plans to attend Ole Miss for the fall semester and that his goal is to one day become a minister and to “pay it forward”, helping people in the way that doctors and rescue workers did for him. “I was starting to accept that I wouldn’t get out”.

After several attempts to “butt dial” the phone into calling up Siri again, he managed to get through to 911 and scream out for help.

“It felt like my leg was breaking because I could feel it bending”, Ray said.

Sam was trapped for around 40 minutes and suffered three broken ribs, a bruised kidney, a cut on the forehead, and second and third-degree burns to one arm that was under the exhaust pipe. “I was like, ‘Why are you going off?'” Ray said.

Sam’s mother, Laura Ray, said they had been “blessed beyond measure”.

“It could have been so much worse: I could be burying my son”.

Ray’s gratitude also extends to Siri for “her” role in saving his life.

“He’s very lucky”, said Dr Richard Miller, chief of trauma and surgical critical care at Vanderbilt.

Kirk Krokosky, a nurse who flew in the emergency helicopter alongside Sam, said Siri was his “guardian angel”.
