From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Hydraulic rescue tools are used by emergency rescue personnel to assist vehicle extrication of crash victims, as well as other rescues from small spaces. These tools include cutters, spreaders, and rams. They are popularly referred to in the United States, Canada and Australia as Jaws of Life, a trademark of Hurst Performance Inc. The Jaws of Life was first used in 1963 as a tool to free race car drivers from their vehicles after accidents. Hydraulic rescue tools are powered by a hydraulic pump, which can be hand-, foot-, or engine-powered, or even built into the tool itself. These tools may be either single-acting, where hydraulic pressure will only move the cylinder in one direction, and the return to starting position is accomplished using a pressure-relief valve and spring setup, or dual-acting, in which hydraulic pressure is used to both open and close the hydraulic cylinder.

This wouldn't have happened if this person hadn't been here illegally. Funny how people don't seem to grasp that concept. My best friend of 35 years was also injured by a drunk illegal driver. She was on deployment in Indiana with the Army after 9/11 and was hit by a drunk illegal driver while she was out jogging. He took off and left her on the side of the road to die like a dog. After he was caught,he was deported. She got a lifetime disability and the pleasure of paying for all her medical bills. He was not held accountable for anything.
