Watch: Video Shows Man Sacrifice His Own Car To Save Unconscious Driver In The Vehicle Behind
His noble intentions were all captured on the dashboard camera of someone driving behind. Recognising the danger, the man sped up a little bit and got in front of the car before braking enough to bring it to a halt.
Road accidents and collisions among vehicles are invariably the worst things. It doesn't only harm the property but also can take away lives. But a collision between two cars actually saved a life. No, we're not making this up.
A man was captured on camera sacrificing his own car in order to save the life of a person who had fallen unconscious at the wheel of their vehicle.
The incident that took place in the Netherlands occurred when a car started going off out of control moving at a steady speed on a grass patch next to a highway. As it would turn out, the driver of the vehicle had lost consciousness, and the car was moving at speed and out of control.

However, the car steered back on the road making everyone else on the road in danger.
Recognising the danger, a man called Henry Temmermans sped up a little bit and got in front of the car before braking enough to bring it to a halt.
His noble intentions were all captured on the dashboard camera of someone driving behind, to the point where the car filming stopped and pulled over behind the two as Temmermans got out of his car to run around to the woman to check if she was OK and that the car would remain stopped.
The accident occurred on the A28 road in Nunspeet on Friday afternoon, and - as you can no doubt tell from the footage the matter could have gotten much worse. The video was captioned, ¡°Man sacrifices his car to save another driver who was unconscious.¡±

The man had also shared the entire incident and mentioned how the woman had vomited inside the car. She had five broken ribs from the incident but it couldn't be figured out how she got unconscious.
The woman is left with five broken ribs from the incident. It is still not clear how she became unwell. Henry had no hesitation in taking action, he says. "I see it on social media. People say they are proud of me, call me a hero.

Many users commented on the thread, admiring Mr Temmermans for the way he saved the woman's life.
I always admire these kind of people who will risk their lives to help others who are in danger while most of us will keep on going where we are going. They are special, kind and brave¡ ?

This made me cry. I had a seizure while driving - luckily only I was injured and my car went into a pond but if it hadn¡¯t been for other motorists calling 911, I would have drowned that night. The helpers are the heroes.

I did like to think everyone would put life ahead of a damaged car. This happened to my dad and if not for a postal worker driving he¡¯d of died from the heart attack he had. She administered CPR as well. People think their rights are being taken away but it¡¯s their humanity
