A hero dad saved a woman and her three-year-old daughter after he saw their car being swept away in a flooded river.
Liam Stych leapt into action fighting a raging torrent after hearing the woman screaming “Help me, help me, please save my baby!”
A video shows the woman’s car being dragged under a footbridge as floods surged through Birmingham, England on Tuesday following Storm Henk.

The highway engineer then sprinted back to his work van and grabbed a set of 3.5 ton ratchet straps.
“Once the baby was safe I ran to get the straps and climbed back to the car and smashed the back passenger window.”

Wow, I know that took a set of stones that the average Joe Sixpack doesn’t have. I’d like to think we all could do it, but would we. And, even if willing, would we be capable of it. After all who has the tools at hand to tie a car to a bridge?
Hope the fellow wins the lotto. He earned it.
