Michelle Gallegos who is a zTrip rideshare driver in San Antonio Texas is being praised as a savior when she was driving her auto on Tuesday March 10 when she saw a young boy who was wandering on a busy road when she stopped her auto, got out of her auto to pick up the young boy from being hit by a vehicle. After Michelle picked up the young boy whose name or age was not released and she pulled her vehicle in a parking lot near an apartment complex to call the San Antonio Police Department. The parents of the young boy lived an apartment complex when they were searching for their boy and were able to reunite with their young boy safely. The boy managed to leave his parents while they were at an appointment. The parents are grateful that Michelle was able to save the boy from being struck by an auto on a busy street.

Quick and real action averted a possible accident, and she was alert to respond when she saw the possible disaster. Good on her.

I’m happy the boy was spotted by this woman and rescued, but what kind of ignoramus parents don’t keep an eye on their child. Omg!

Toddlers can disappear very quickly sometimes.

I have seen that in fictional television shows where kids have been to get away from their parents.

Nichelle Gallegos did the right thing at the right time. Thank God, she was able to save the toddler at the nick of time.

I just read this story. You know, I don’t want to judge, but how in the world does a child end up in the street without calling the parents incredibly irresponsible.

Parents like that should be investigated on how long the boy was alone and how he got out,

I hope the boy wasn't left alone at the apartment. I'm glad Michelle was able to save the boy.

I also hope that the boy was not left alone in the apartment. I think the boy sneaked out behind his parents back.
