Speed bump mom: Mother uses body as speed bump to save daughters in rolling car
- 10 years ago
22-year-old Mindy Tran of Lawrence, Massachusetts had no trouble putting her own body on the line in order to save her two children earlier this month.
The young mother had just finished parking her car in the garage of her new apartment and went over to open the front door before picking up her children, when suddenly the car began rolling toward the street, with her twin 2-year-old daughters still buckled inside.
Without even a second thought, she dropped everything and sprang into action, pinning herself under the car to stop it while neighbors helped rescue the girls.
She was later taken to the hospital was treated for a crushed knee and dislocated hip. There's no word on how the car started moving in the first place.
