when I heard the story, I was yesterday,
I was nauseous the whole the whole day
from when I heard the story until until
a few hours later until I heard that
they were in stable condition. You know,
I'm I'm imagining my little Yeah.
imagining my little kids, you know, like
I couldn't I couldn't get out. It's like
the first time I've been I'm I'm
involved for 3 years now. It was the
first time that I just got totally r I
couldn't function
yesterday. I just I can't at least the
worst was prevented.
Thank you so much. What exactly
transpired when you got to the scene?
You got there and what? Give us a little
description of exactly what took place.
She had made the turn onto Route 9 going
southbound. I was coming up right at
that intersection and I saw the car
shorts stop like sort of like a bump. I
have a little short stop. So I figured
something happened. So I pulled up. When
I was pulling around her, I saw her
through the stroller and two kids got
on. What was your immediate thought that
happened as soon as you got there? The
worst. The worst. So when I got out, I'm
a train. So when I got out, first thing
was I checked on the kids. They were not
breathing. Then this guy came by, white
guy. Where was he at the time? Where did
he come from? Well, I'm not really sure,
honestly. He was walking, he must have
been walking up the nine because by the
time I looked up, he was already going
to the trunk, yanking out the uh the
jack. So, I helped him get the jack in
place while I was holding the kids head
so it shouldn't fall. And then once the
kid once they got the jack up, the the
kid that was on top of the older one,
she started breathing. And they were
crutch. That's what they were. They
couldn't breathe. They were pinned one
on top of the other under the car. And
as soon as he got the jack up, she
started breathing. And then someone else
came by and started taking looking at
the baby and then she started breathing
and was there very quickly got them out
and got them
hospital being the right place the right
time obviously certain that you were
able to be there in the right place.
Okay. We want to thank Lakewood first
aid hatal and EMS for everything they
did for the families. We just had the
opportunity actually to go meet the
Samaritan one of the good Samaritans who
had been very helpful during the the
event. And so we certainly want to thank
both good Samaritans that were out there
at the time at a moment's notice to jump
and have the presence of mind to grab
the jack out of the car and jack it up
to be able to get the child out. And the
second good Samaritan, come out. Come
out wherever you are cuz we want to
honor
