Teen ‘Superhero’ Saves Dad by Lifting Truck
A Virginia teen performed an incredible act of bravery when she lifted a truck to rescue her father from a dangerous situation. Meet 19-year-old Sarah, who recently received a Citizen Lifesaving Award for her astonishing feat.
While Eric Johnson was working on his GMC truck in the garage, the jack unexpectedly gave way, trapping him underneath. To make matters worse, gasoline spilled and ignited, creating a fiery situation that left Eric in a panic. He thought to himself, “They’d be pulling out a dead body later in the evening.”
Fortunately, Sarah was home on a break from her training at the Air Force Academy. She rushed to the garage upon seeing the fire and, despite being only 5’6” and weighing 120 pounds, managed to lift the truck off her dad. Once he was free, Sarah acted quickly, realizing that the gas tank was about to explode. She hopped into the driver’s seat and drove the truck out of the garage on three wheels, ensuring the fire wouldn’t damage their home.
After securing the situation, she closed the garage doors to contain the flames and then evacuated her family, including her three-month-old niece and grandmother. Amazingly, she also managed to call 911 during this chaotic moment—talk about a total rockstar!
In a ceremony hosted by the local fire department, Sarah downplayed her actions, insisting she’s not a hero. But her quick thinking and courage saved her family and property, earning her the Citizen Lifesaving Award. Although she sustained some injuries, including burns and a back strain, she remains committed to a future in public service.
We often hear tales of extraordinary feats, especially about moms lifting cars to rescue their kids, but Sarah’s story is a refreshing reminder that anyone can be a hero in a moment of crisis.
