A heroic rescue story from Illinois

Tweet

I really like the way that Betsy Buckley is handling her new found fame for her daring rescue of a four year old girl named Faith who was trapped inside her car seat that was stuck on a railroad crossing in La Grange Illinois recently. Faith was a passenger aboard an SUV that was driven by her grandmother who had the bad luck of having her vehicle stuck on a railroad track crossing since she and her passengers which included Faith, her younger brother and her daughter. Betsy was in the area when she saw that something was not right when she stopped to check on the foursome that were stuck on a railroad crossing in the afternoon. Even though the mom, grandma and the young brother were able to get out of the vehicle safely, Faith was not able to get out of her car seat since her left leg was tangled in the seatbelt. Betsy went inside the vehicle and was able to get Faith out of the vehicle 90 second before a train crashed into the SUV. When the firefighters came to the scene, they were impressed that Betsy stood by the family of four to comfort them during their brush with a tragic ending had Betsy not rescued their daughter from being hit by a train. It is nice to see a stranger assist a family of four persons that needed some help to get a child out of a SUV that was going to be hit by a train.
