I was taking Michaela to her Christmas concert last night and we were stopped in the turn lane at a red light at US 301 and Boyette Road. When the light turned green two cars in front of us started through the intersection when another car ran the red light. The first car slammed his brakes on to miss the car running the light and he did but the second car slammed right into him. I pulled along side the second car to ask if he was ok when I saw the driver holding his head and passing out. His car started going backwards so I jumped out of the van ran around, opened the guy’s door, and threw his car in park stopping it before it hit the car behind him. When I pulled my head out of the car I turned and a man was walking up to me and I asked him to call 911 then when I looked at him it was Don.
Don and Barb were also on their way to Michaela’s concert so the car I saved from being hit was Barb’s car. Isn’that just so crazy? I could not believe I did that, it happened so fast. I looked back at the van and Michaela was just looking at me her eyes as big as quarters and Lani was still watching Little Einstein’s.
I had a super hero moment if only a brief one. I could not believe I actually did something like that. I could not believe I just did not point and say his car is rolling backwards. I guess that was my good deed for the day. It was two boys about Michaela’s age and they both new each other. The guy that hit his head was fine.
