Colorado trucker pulls girls from fiery wreck PLN #7

In the article trucker pulls girls from fiery wreck, I thought that the artical was a very sad one because the girls mother died. The trucker first pulled the little 4-year-old named Peyton out of the wreck only to have her ask were her mother is. her mother had been killed instantly when her SUV had drifted in the way of sanchuez grain truck about 2:30 p.m. on Colorado Highway 392. Then the thirty two year old truck driver jumped from his grain truck to save Peyton along with her one-year-old sister named Morgan from the car wreckage. He pulled out Morgan first, and went back for Peyton, they were both seriously injured, and now the two of them are now recovering at the children's hospital in Aurora. The trucker said "I just feel happy they're alive," he said, hugging his wife, Susie,as he tried to hold back tears. "Because they're going to get to have a happy life. It'll be difficult without their mother. I tried to save her, but I couldn't." This artical is a perfect example of how we can all try and help people who are on danger, because we all need to think of others as well as think of our selves. The affect that this had on me, was it made me super sad to see that these two little girls lost someone who was very important to them in there lives. I was so glad that the trucker didn't only think about himself and how his own life was in danger, but he stopped to think of someone else and their safety. what matters in this article is that someone was a hero, because they saved someone and this only happened because they weren't being selfish.
