Sammy feared the worst, unable to imagine any possible way her precious girl could have survived such a terrible accident.
"I swerved to avoid and used my car to block both of the lanes with my hazard lights on," he recalled. "It all happened in a flash. It was horrible."But Declan saw something incredible, too. A person was on the ground comforting Katy. The man who was waving the flashlights was named John. He was putting his own life at risk by standing in oncoming traffic so he could stop and direct car in order to protect Katy from further harm.

"We had to stop a lot of cars," Declan said. "If it wasn't for the other two people there at the time I would probably have run her over. It was just about trying to get her safe - it is only humane to do something like that."
“We got straight in the car and went flying down the A38 but because she was on the other side of the road I couldn’t get to her. We drove all the way to the roundabout to turn around and found police there," Sammy recalls.RELATED: Divine Intervention Puts Heroic Firefighter in the Path of Fiery Crash But by the time she got to the crash site, police told her she'd have to wait while they got Katy ready to move to the hospital. The heartsick mom saw her daughter's body motionless on the ground and it was pure agony.
"It was the longest 10 minutes of my life," she said. "I didn't know if she was alive, my mind was all over the place. It was one of the worst feelings ever."Poor Katy suffered serious injuries, including a broken thigh bone and fractures to her lower leg and feet. But miraculously, she was alive.
“She’s been tearful at times but she’s fighting strong," Sammy says. "She’s had the nurses at the hospital in stitches which has been nice to see – Katy has always been a funny girl."And the sweet girl has had plenty of visitors, including some of the special angels who came to her aid.
"I can’t thank the people who helped her enough," Sammy said. "I owe them everything. They’ve been brilliant and they have even visited her at hospital. They risked their own life. It could have been worse."Our thoughts and prayers go out to Katy and her family as she continues to heal. The compassion shown to Katy in the darkest moments by strangers certainly helps to restore my faith in humanity! h/t: Derby Telegraph Featured Image Credit: Derby Telegraph/Facebook YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: A Divine Vision Changes Everything For A Teen Paralyzed In Car Crash
