Some good news for a change


A great example of solidarity and humanity took place last Sunday on the A4 Milan-Venice motorway (Italy) in aid of an eight year-old girl who was thrown out of a car colliding against a barrier near Bergamo. A truck driver drove his truck sideways to shield the damaged car,- as shown in this image broadcast by the Italian Highway Agency - and prevented the car and its passengers from being crashed by other vehicles. Fortunately a team of Red Cross volunteers was in the vicinity and managed to give first aid to the child, who was in cardiac arrest, and save her life. Good Samaritans still exist!

A singular act of bravery that deserves a medal in my opinion.

Spotted you commenting over at Jane's. Glad to see you again.

The event you write about certainly made me feel good about people this morning.

Hi Darla, Hope you're fine in this very sad day of remembrance. 12 years have gone and it still seems yesterday. x
