Dad Saves Baby From Car Crash [Real Life Superheroes]

Maybe it happened two years ago, but when a dad saves a baby from a car crash, I think that’s worth mentioning.

From Asylum.com:

Aussie father [Andrew Leitch] was captured on CCTV clinging desperately to his son Haydn after taking the full impact of car smashing into him and a shop front.

In other words, he saw a car hurtling towards him while he was holding his baby, and put his body between the car and the kid. According to Asylum, he said, “I was thinking I can take the hit. I can repair, but there’s no way my son is going to repair.” Good on ya, mate. (It happened in Australia, so we can say that.)
