'The Moonshine Bandits' - good samaritans

After playing a New Years Eve concert at the Lake Tulloch Resort, The Moonshine Bandits packed up and headed out of town mid morning on 1-1-12. As they crested the hill on O'Byrnes Ferry road near the entrance to the Sierra Conservation Center they witnessed the aftermath of a vehicle rollover that had occurred seconds before.
All members of the band and their entourage jumped to the aid of the victims trapped in the overturned vehicle managing to extract one person from the back of the inverted vehicle. While the extraction took place, multiple members held the car for support so it would not roll on those attempting a rescue or further hurt those inside as they awaited emergency personnel to arrive.
This picture was submitted by a citizen showing the band and it members assisting.
