Woman Called 911 with Her Feet When Injured While Changing Tyre
.
Summary:
All the while enduring the severe pain and the horrifying sight of her two hands crushed between the tyre and the fender of her car, an American woman managed to keep her wits about her and used her feet to call the police on her phone when the simple job of changing a flat tyre on a motorway went nightmarishly wrong – the jack malfunctioned and thus got her hands trapped.

Language Enhancement:
Keep/Have sb.’s wits about sb. (idm.)(保持冷靜)
這習語與中文的「急中生智」相近,意思是面對意料之外的處境時仍然保住自己的 wits (n.)「機智」。
e.g. Lots of things can happen when you report news live; all you can do is to keep your wits about you. You can brush it off as if nothing has happened or make a light-hearted response.
e.g. The police gave praise to the 6-year-old, who kept his wits about him when his mother experienced a heart attack at home. Had he not called the ambulance and said his address accurately, the woman would very likely have died. —————————————————
