You may have seen the viral video of the young man who jumped out of his car, ran across the highway, and into the median of the highway to help an unconscious woman. If you haven't you can see it below. His name is Adolfo Molina Burgos, he's Dominican, and from Lawrence.
After watching the video, we knew we wanted to talk to him to find out what made him do such an unselfish act. We were also curious to see if he knew how the woman is and if they had been in touch. And also just wanted him to know that we were proud of him and are happy that he was unhurt and is safe.
Adolfo doesn't speak much Spanish, and luckily we have our resident Puerto Rican to talk to him and translate. Even though I wasn't able to understand what he was saying until it was translated, I was so engrossed with his story. I could feel the compassion in his voice and was so glad we got to talk to him.
Listen to our interview with Adolfo...
WATCH: Lawrence Man Risks Life And Dodges Traffic To Help Unconscious Woman
There's a lot of mess on social media these days, but every once in a while, you come across something that gives you hope. So the video was of a man crossing the highway to help a woman who was unconscious in her moving car. The car had gone off the road but was still running. The video ends with the guy running next to the car and viewers having no idea what happened. I put on my investigative hat to find out more about what happened, and here's what I've seen from other posts.
The guy's name is Adolfo Molina Burgos, and he's from Lawrence. He was on his way to Logan Airport on 93 and noticed a woman in a car who lost consciousness. He got out of his car and was dodging traffic to try and help her. It seriously looked like something out of a movie.
He was running by the car and trying to open the door to help the woman. He wasn’t able to get in the car, but reports say that police got there 7 minutes later. They were able to break the glass and stop the car. Adolfo then got into his car and left.
What an incredible story! Adolfo Molina Burgos from Lawrence, we’re glad you’re ok and safe, and we salute you for trying to help this woman.
Here's the video if you haven't seen it yet, as well as reactions to the video.
