A Car Slammed Into A Drunk Driver, Saving The Lives Of A Family Crossing The Street

October 25, 2019

A hero in the form of a Chevy Cruze is being credited for saving the lives of a couple pushing a stroller through a crosswalk in Phoenix, Arizona.

The family was trying to cross Indian School at 53rd Avenue late in the evening when a Jeep came barreling through the red light.

A Chevrolet Cruz entered the intersection on a green light and took the impact from the speeding Jeep, just a few feet in front of the crossing pedestrians.

The man driving the Jeep was arrested on DUI and aggravated assault charges.

The driver of that Chevy Cruz was a 27-year-old woman. While she did suffer injuries they were not life-threatening, the Phoenix Police Department said in a statement.
