Brad Hensley and his family were returning home from vacation, traveling on the Kentucky Bluegrass Parkway when a front tire blowout caused their RV to veer across the median and into oncoming traffic before plummeting down a 40-foot embankment.

Witnessing the crash, numerous good Samaritans immediately stopped to offer their assistance.

"I know I will probably never see these heroes again, but if you know one of them, please give them a hug and tell them thanks from my family," Hensley expressed on Facebook. "They put their own lives in danger to help mine. They were on the RV trying to get in almost as soon as we came to a stop. Because of God and these guys, all six of us got out safe."

Two of the rescuers, Joshua Howard and his friend Jesse, were on their way home from work when they witnessed the accident. Without hesitation, they sprang into action.

"I turned around as I hopped up and started helping people out, and there was just like a wave, a wave of community," Howard described the scene to Fox 56 News.

Miraculously, all six members of the Hensley family survived the crash. In a heartfelt update, Hensley shared, "Our family and friends are doing much better. The two with injuries are healing up, and the emotional toll is slowly getting better."

"I want to thank every one of you from the bottom of my heart," he added.
