All that is true BJ but the only thing that needed to happen was that he had to be released from under the car!
If the marshalls had had a crowbar they could have moved the car. If the marshalls had helped Purley in time, if the police had let the crowd help Purley, if the car could have have lifted itself off him as proposed above.

The outcome would not have been so distressingly tragic for all concerned.
