Not really gore, but pretty brutal, especially in slow motion
Both survived. SHe is being honored for shielding the child who was not even hers.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (WSVN) — A dangerous drive in Connecticut was caught on camera, when a car was seen slamming into pedestrians.
It’s hard to believe when you look at the surveillance video that nobody was killed when a speeding car crashed into pedestrians and slammed them into a building. However, police say it’s thanks to one woman that there were no fatalities.
“First of all, I want to say ‘Thank you’ to this good person,” said Bridgeport Police Chief A.J. Perez.
Police are now singling out the heroic actions of Shanta Jordan, whom you can clearly see jumping in front of the vehicle in an effort to push a little boy out of the car’s path. They say her body absorbed much of the impact, thereby saving the child’s life, though he was seriously injured.
Story
quote:
Amazing woman, she is so brave for that,” Jordan’s friend said. “If it wasn’t for her, that boy would not made it.”
Police say doctors initially thought they would have to amputate both of the boy’s legs, but surgeons in the hospital spent hours operating and spared him that fate.
They say if it was not for Jordan’s bravery, this little boy’s family would be grieving his loss.

Damn, they are both lucky to be alive.

That's great. Glad no one was killed. Looks like to me she decided on a direction to run and at point of impact was in front of the child. Hero? Sure, why not? Here's a sticker and a plaque.

It kind of looks like she was trying to get out of the way and just happened to get in front of the kid
What's the deal with the second lady just running off?

Wow. Restores a little bit of my faith in people.

I don't think she meant to shield the child. When she turned to run, she accidentally ran into him. She didn't do anything wrong but that wasn't on purpose.

So, what was the dumbass driver's reason for sidewalk driving?

Lol the headlines actually say jumped in front of a car to shield him hahaha. You can even still see the cell at her head when she was hit. She ran by that kid like he wasn't there. Those big thighs helped to save his life so sure, give her a medal and call her what you want. But that is the furthest thing from purposely trying to save a life. Better to be lucky than good though so good for her being there.

She was running away, practically running over that boy.

Car was black I'm sure

I had to play it real slow to see, and I finally did. She did put herself between the car and the kid. I would call that a hero.

Good thing she was not an undercover police. You would have never posted the story.

Amazing nobody was killed.
Tangerine would you have posted this if it were a white lady that got hit?
I'm not sure if the woman was motivated to save the child or just get out of the way. But I'm 100% certain of your motivation.

Lmao
1. She was not trying to save that boy, she was running for her own life. Not saying I blame her, that's a horrifying situation and plenty of people would look out for themselves. I guess it's good she was there, at least she can milk it now.
2. If the woman was white, this topic wouldn't even exist right now.

Damn, how the frick did either survive that?
As for whether she was trying to save him or not it's tough to say, but if she was, she definitely wasn't trying an effective method by getting between him and the car. That's still a ton of metal that's going to bear down on him even if she is in the way.
Would have been better to have tried to push him out of the car's way, but she clearly wasn't trying to grab him.

Little guy should be thankful the car took her out...if that big bitch ran him over he might not have made it

Yeah this woman was not shielding anyone she was simply trying to get out of the way. Someone trying to make her out as a hero so the donations will start coming in. Glad they are both alive but come on people, no attempt to protect anyone. She simply tried to get out of the way herself.
