You don't know enough of the details to really assess whether the victim was damaged by the accident alone, being pulled out of the car, or a function of both, and no one my truly be able to determine what was the insulting injury.

That's right - I don't know the actual cause of the injury; and neither do you, which is why I typed:
If her poor judgement and rash action indeed contributed to the spinal damage and resultant paralysis...
I simply presented another possible point of view based on what the report actually said, as opposed to jumping on the bandwagon and assuming that the samaritan was the real victim in this with no facts to back that up.

You don't know the extent of the injuries, did she suffer a broken neck, with severe injury to the spinal cord and significant paralysis to the upper and lower extremities, or does she suffer from a herniated disc and now has some numbness in her arm

Yes I do, actually, because I read the article (did you?). The nature and extent of the injury was described as spinal cord damage resulting in paraplegia. If you choose to assume the info in the article is false and to inject suppositions about the relative weights and sizes of the two people involved then the sky's the limit on where this discussion could lead. I just tried to stick to what was written.
