Wildwood, NJ fire captain jumps into driverless car. 1970 Thunderbird was in a constant reverse spin.

Watch interview with Capt. D'Amico

Above and below are cell phone videos of a 1970 Ford Thunderbird in what appears to be eternal reverse on Hand Avenue in Wildwood, New Jersey on Sunday. Apparently when switching drivers the two people in the car got out not realizing it was in reverse and not park. The solution to this problem came in the form of Wildwood Fire Department Captain Christopher D'Amico.

From WMGM-TV:

Captain Christopher D'Amico, "you had to do something, the guy's car was getting destroyed."

So, after brainstorming, Captain D'Amico decided the best plan of action was for him, to try and get in and stop the 1970 Ford Thunderbird that was spinning out of control. "I got into the inside circle of the car, which was a lot slower and shorter," he explained, "and the passenger side window was down, I just hoofed myself into the car, shut it off and put it in park. It came to a stop."
