Juan Mendoza didn’t think twice when he stopped to help rescue a retired couple from their car after they were hit on the highway.
Juan Mendoza, 19, was driving with his girlfriend on a rainy Wednesday afternoon in southern Texas when he noticed a car spinning out and stopped in the middle of the highway after a collision. Without thinking twice, he jumped into action.
«My first thought is that they could have kids, and I have little brothers», Menodoza said. «And that thought came into me, rushing, and I’m like, I’m going to get them out.»
Juan O’Matta, who turns 80 this month, was driving home from a doctor’s appointment with his wife Adriana when their car was struck and sent spinning into the middle of the road.
«Nobody stopped», O’Matta said of Mendoza’s action. «He was the only one who stopped.
