A Marine Who Lost Both Legs Saves Baby from a Car Crash

You can’t make this stuff up…

Matias Ferreira is a 26-year-old former Marine from Long Island, New York who lost both of his legs from the knee down after he stepped on a landmine in Afghanistan back in 2011. He has prosthetics now, and gets around pretty well.

Well last Wednesday he was driving through Queens when he saw a car that had just crashed into a utility pole.

There was smoke coming out of the car and his training kicked in.  He ran over heard the woman in the driver’s seat yelling about her BABY in the backseat! Matias ripped off a headrest then reached in to get her out.

 

His brother and his girlfriend’s dad were with him too and got the mother out.
She and her daughter both went to the hospital and they’re okay.

Oh and Matias was driving home from the rehearsal dinner for HIS wedding!  He and his fiancée got married two days later.

They’re on their honeymoon in Aruba right now.
