Feel Good Story: Man Stops for Accident, Saves Two Lives

We’ve heard stories in the past about random people saving strangers’ lives in a car crash, or the whole right-person-right-place-right-time thing, but this one’s a little different.

Chicago man Robert King (50) was on his way home from work the night before Easter when he saw a van that had just been T-boned at a stoplight.

Robert pulled over to see if the van’s occupants were alright, and they were, but they still ended up asking for a ride to the hospital.

Here’s why . . .

That van was a medical vehicle, and they were in the process of delivering three organs to a nearby hospital for two different transplant patients.

Time was running out and if the medical team didn’t get the organs to the hospital soon, they’d miss their window to use them.

Robert told them to hop on in, and drove them the rest of the way, saving TWO lives in the process.

One organ, a liver, went to one patient, while the other two, a kidney and pancreas, went to the other patient.

Robert received an award from the hospital last week, but he says he was just following the Golden Rule — to treat people the way you’d want to be treated.

That’s why he pulled over to help.
