Who said small wasn't powerful? On October 12th a young local boy from Hanley Village saved a woman's life! Seven year old Austin Good was playing outside his mother's store when a young woman was hit while on her bicycle. The whole accident happen when a car ran a red light while in a hurry.
When the accident first happened, Austin was playing outside his mother's book store. The young woman was then hit and thrown off her bicycle and ended up laying on the curb and had received minor injuries to her head. Austin calmly ran into his mother's shop while she was in the back, and called 9-1-1. The boy told the operator that a girl had been hurt and that they needed to get to Book's Galore on Taint Street very fast!
The ambulance has said that if she had of been there for four more minutes, the injury to her head could have caused long term damage. Thank's to Austin for calling 9-1-1 right away and knowing exactly what to do and how to stay calm, he saved the woman's life.
Local new's interviewed the young boy and asked him how he stayed so calm and knew what to do in that situation, to which Austin replied "I knew I needed to help her because I know I would want someone to help me and I wanted to be someone's super hero! My mommy taught me to always help other's and that if anyone got hurt to call 9-1-1."
The local woman is now on her road to recovery and is doing much better. She is thankful to Austin and his mother for teaching him what to do in that situation, she also told local new's that Austin definitely is her little super hero!
