Just as they were about to reach the curb, they realized a car was not slowing down or stopping for them. In fact, it was speeding straight toward them.Michael was certain that if he didn’t do something, the driver was going to crash her car right into his daughter. He had one second to think fast.That’s when Michael became the ultimate hero — by pushing his daughter out of the way of the dangerous vehicle.In turn, Michael was hit by the car himself, and thrown ruthlessly onto the sidewalk.The car didn’t even stop.
