Dangerous Car Repair
(WSB Radio) -- A Good Samaritan is being credited with saving the life of a woman and her infant daughter.
Raquel Hernandez tells WSB she a woman screaming for help and saw her being dragged beneath her car.
Clayton County Police 20-year-old Dana Jones of Riverdale, went under her car Wednesday afternoon to check something. The car was not car completely in park, and started to roll, catching her by one of her feet.
"Really, nobody went out to help because they couldn't see anyone; so, I ran toward her and I put the car in park and then turned it off. She had her eight-month-old baby with her," said Hernandez.
She grabbed the baby and another man came and helped move the car out of the way before it rolled into a busy intersection at Jonesboro Road, near Highway 138.
Raquel is just glad she could help.
"It was really scary. I panicked. I didn't know what to do or where to go; but I heard from someone that she was fine. She had a rib that was broken, and I guess her leg is okay now," said Hernandez.
What others are saying
- Car IncidentI feel sorry for the lady that got hurt by the car. Maybe she wasn't thing to put the car in gear and turning off the engine. Maybe her main concern was she was having some type of car trouble and she was trying to get the baby and herself out of the heat! It was pretty HOT! Accidents does happens, sometimes to the best of people, nobody ask for it, it just happens. Just thank GOD there was no deaths to occured in this.
