Girl jumps in front of truck to save brother
Categories: Toddlers, Kids 8-11, In The News
We post a lot about kids who act up, and occasional trials of parenthood, so I'm always excited to find stories about kids who do amazing things.
Like Madison Yesford, the 8-year-old girl who jumped in front of a truck and saved her brother's life. The 2-year-old apparently chased the family cat into the street, and found himself face to face with the oncoming vehicle. Madison then rushed after him, lifting her brother off the ground just as the truck struck them both. According to police, this kept the brother from going underneath the truck, and saved his life.
Madison suffered a broken collarbone and her brother was slightly injured, but everyone is otherwise fine.
I can't imagine most kids would've been able to keep their head, and act so quickly under pressure. Madison's actions were truly heroic.
