Sumter, South Carolina, grandmother Dale Davis was driving home from a doctors appointment when her two-year-old grandson, Amir, began choking. She heard him gagging and struggling to breathe and immediately stopped her car in the median of Broad Street. “I put my car in park, threw on my flashers, ran to the other side, and snatched him out of his car seat and began trying to do CPR.” She says she felt helpless as cars sped by, with no one stopping to help.
WLTX reports that Anidra Ragin, was driving to pick up her children from school when she saw Davis and Amir in distress. Anidra says “I was surprised how people were just whizzing by so I catty-cornered my truck to stop one lane of traffic from flowing toward them,”
When she got to Dale & Amir and saw her doing CPR she called 911 and then took over CPR as she has training.
A few moments later Amir gasped his first breath and then began breathing again. Paramedics arrived a minute later to take him to the hospital.
Dale says Anidra is her “angel"! "No one was stopping but she did. She protected us from the traffic and saved Amir's life".
