Quick-Thinking Nanny Saves Kansas City Toddler from Car Accident
According to a news report from KMBC, a 25-year-old nanny suffered severe injuries after a runaway truck hit her. At the time of the accident, the nanny was pushing a child in a stroller. They were taking a walk in a Kansas City neighborhood. With only seconds to react to the truck barreling toward her, the nanny shoved the stroller out of harm’s way, suffering the full impact of the pedestrian accident herself.
Immediately after the accident, the young woman was in intense pain, but found herself screaming for someone to tell her what had happened to the infant. She remembers handing her cell phone to a bystander who ran to help, begging them to call the child’s parents and make sure she was okay. Apart from being a bit rattled, the child made it through the accident unharmed.
The young woman is now recuperating from the injuries she suffered in the car accident, including multiple broken bones. She has had 11 surgeries to repair the damage, and faces a long road of rehabilitation and therapy until she recovers her health. Family and friends have set up a fund to pay for her medical expenses in the meantime.
