Wicker and Wilde share Feel Good stories each weekday morning...they care called Feel Good on the :50's. Feel free to share this amazing story with your friends.
A driver in the Netherlands is being hailed a hero for putting himself in danger to save a woman who was having a seizure behind the wheel of her car while driving at highway speed. Henry Temmermans was near Amsterdam when he noticed another car was driving on the grass. He looked over and could see that the driver was unconscious. Without much concern for his own safety, Henry pulls ahead and positions himself so the out-of-control vehicle will run into the back of his car (see the dashcam video below).
He successfully gets the car to run squarely into the back of his car and manages to get both vehicles to a stop. Another driver catches the whole incident on his dashcam (below) and pulls up behind the cars just as they come to a stop. The other driver calls emergency services and he and Henry check on the unconscious driver. They can’t get the woman to wake up, but do confirm she has a pulse. Police and an ambulance arrive a few minutes later and take the woman to the hospital.
Henry's car had to be towed after the incident and the other driver that stopped, who it turns out was an old acquaintance, drove him home! Small world, eh? The next day, Henry got a call from the husband and daughter of the woman expressing their gratitude, but Henry doesn’t think what he did was that special. "People say they are proud of me, call me a hero. But I don't see myself that way,” he says. “You are obliged to help people in need. I did what I had to do."
We LOVE this man!
