A 77-year-old woman was saved from a precarious situation earlier this week, thanks to a man aptly named Chris Miracle.
Chris, who works for his family’s towing business in Manntown, Florida, was on duty around 2 AM when he spotted flashing lights through the brush while driving. Initially focused on avoiding deer, he felt compelled to turn around after driving a mile past the lights, sensing something was amiss.
Upon returning, Miracle discovered a car partially submerged in a creek about 40 yards from the road, with its hazard lights flashing. Inside, he found the elderly woman, who explained that she had veered off the road due to an adverse reaction to her medication. Without a cell phone to call for help, she had turned on her hazard lights and waited for assistance.
Miracle promptly called emergency services and used his tow truck to pull her vehicle from the creek. Fortunately, she was released from the hospital days later in good condition. Miracle expressed relief that he followed his instincts; had no one noticed her hazard lights, she might have remained trapped until daylight, making rescue even more difficult.
“The timing was just impeccable,” Miracle remarked. “I think it was God’s work—right place, right time; it was meant to be.”
