Joyce Farmer’s 1999 Pontiac Grand Am is a write-off, but she’s sporting a smile from ear to ear. That’s because things could have been much worse if it weren’t for the quick thinking of a bystander.
Farmer was behind the wheel when she was involved in a collision with another vehicle. The impact drove her car onto the sidewalk. Farmer was too dazed to react when her car kept rolling, right into the path of innocent bystanders. That’s when Ian Feuntes (pictured) came to the rescue.
“I opened the door. Then I got in the car, and I just stepped on the brakes, because she still had her foot on the accelerator. I just tried to keep her calm,” he said.
Farmer doesn’t even remember the incident, but she likely won’t forget Feuntes.
“Thanks ever so much,” she told him. “(You were) very good to me.”
