A fitness instructor from Texas just happened to be in New Jersey on July 30th, 2011 when a car going 50 miles an hour crashed into a jewelry store. The man jumped in the car took the woman's foot off the accelerator and turned off the engine. He carried the woman out of the car then noticed another woman pinned under the car. He pulled her out, bound the cuts on her wrists, and told her to hold her arms up to reduce the loss of blood until paramedics got there. He received a hero proclamation from Evesham Township.
Wow, talk about being in the right place at the right time. This man was all the way from Texas and "just happened" to be in that store at that time. Its great that he was there otherwise these two woman might have died. Normally in an incident like this people panic, freeze, are basically in shock that these things are even happening. For him to have reacted that calmly and quickly is just amazing to me. At the end of the article it says that the jewelry store gave the man an engraved watch that said "to our hero", how cool is that. I guarantee you that this man and all witnesses and victims will never forget this day or how great they all felt afterwards, knowing that he saved all of them. Its always nice to hear real-life stories like this, these days there are not too many stories that have truely happy endings like this one did.
