Quick-Thinking Dad Saves Daughter From Speeding Car

One man is being hailed a hero after this dad saves his daughter from a speeding car.

Michael Devore and his daughter were crossing the street after leaving school when the unthinkable happened. A red car was quickly approaching and didn’t show any signs of slowing down at the crosswalk. Michael turned and noticed the dangerous situation.

That’s when he did what any great father would do and pushed his young daughter out of the way. The speeding car continued to barrel through the street and hit Michael. He suffered multiple fractures to both of his legs but that was a small price to pay for the safety of his baby girl.

Michael said, “My main objective was to push her out of the way and if I had to take the hit I had to take the hit.”

While being interviewed, Michael’s daughter expressed how proud she was to call this man her father and what a hero he really is. This man’s quick thinking saved his daughter’s life.

This just shows that a situation can change in the blink of an eye. This father and daughter were using the designated crosswalk, but a speeding car decided to ignore all the rules.

I’m just so glad that everyone is okay and Michael will make a full recovery. There’s truly nothing like the love a father has for his daughter and this situation is a perfect example of the sacrifices that are made. We’re all praying for Michael as he recovers from these injuries.
