Watch The Moment A Brave Bystander Jumped Into A Moving Car To Stop An Accident
Last week in Dixon, Illinois, Randy Tompkins saw that a fellow motorist was in trouble. Realising the other driver was having some sort of medical issue at the wheel and losing control of his vehicle, Tompkins sprang into action.
He exited his own car, ran over and without hesitation jumped into the moving vehicle’s open window to take control and bring it to a stop. Granted, it wasn’t moving particularly fast at the time, but since the other motorist - who it turns out was having a seizure - could have inadvertently hit the throttle at any moment, there’s no doubt in our minds that his actions were incredibly brave.
The whole incident was captured by a following Illinois Police squad car, meaning a pair of officers were on the scene to help within seconds. Shortly after, medical aid arrived, and according to a local report the man was “responding quickly” to treatment and was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.
Posting the squad car’s footage on Facebook, Illinois Police said: “We want to thank Tompkins for his heroism and for coming to a complete stranger’s aid!”
Not all heroes wear capes…
