Woman has seizure while driving, saved by good Samaritans (video at link)

There are actually a decent amount of stories like this each week.


ARNOLD, Mo (WHDH) -- A woman was having a seizure behind the wheel and her car was rolling through an intersection when two people realized what was happening and didn't hesitate to jump into action.

Good Samaritans, Kristin Martin and Zachery Green jumped out of their car in a busy intersection to yell for help.

"I told my girlfriend- I said we've got to help this lady you know we have to. So I just slammed it into park and went with my instincts,” said Green.

"And that's when her foot must of hit the gas and took off so I'm running after her as fast as I can and I’m just screaming at the top of my lungs for somebody to stop and call 911,” said Martin.

They got the attention of high school principal Don Grimshaw. He drove his ford F-250 in front of the blue car to try and stop it before it sailed onto the interstate.
