Life as you know it can change in the blink of an eye and you, like the driver in the story, may not have the time to react or think about it. The driver in the story was very lucky, as not many people can survive such a wreck in the first place or receive timely rescue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without the Good Samaritans who spared no efforts to free the trapped driver who was bleeding, things might have gotten worse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This story goes to show that not all heroes wear capes, but they may just happen to be anyone around us.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
