Man Runs Across Massachusetts Interstate to Try to Rescue Unconscious Driver in Moving Car
A man was seen running across several lanes of traffic on Interstate 93 near Andover, Massachusetts, in an attempt to rescue an unconscious motorist whose car was still driving on January 23, local news reported. Footage recorded by Jose Ismael Paulino captures the incident, showing a blue car driving along a median, before panning to a man, later identified as 25-year-old Adolfo Molina of Lawrence, Massachusetts, exiting his vehicle and bravely running across the interstate to try to stop the car. “I started filming but I never [could’ve] imagined what was happening,” Paulino told Storyful in a translated message. “Later when I got closer, I could see that the lady was asleep.” Molina is seen running beside the vehicle trying to open one of its doors, but they were locked. Local news reported the car eventually “hit a divider and came to a stop.” Since the video went viral, Molina has been praised and recognized by the Dominican Republic Consulate General in Boston and Mayor of Lawrence Brian A DaPena. Unfortunately, the Boston Globe reported that while Molina had hoped to meet the driver and “give her a hug,” officials said “that the woman, a 57-year-old from Plaistow, New Hampshire, had suffered a medical emergency on the day of the accident and later died.” Credit: Jose Ismael Paulino via Storyful
