Good Samaritan Injured In Deadly Crash Says Man Who Died Saved Her Life

Lyndsee Longoria was initially identified as Mike Donnelly's girlfriend. She told us that's not exactly true. In fact she says she'd never met him before.

"He was a good boy."

Yes he was sir. You raised a good man. I'm sorry he was taken from you, but I know you're proud.

[Peasant_in_a_tree]

I have no words to express how much of a hero that man is.

[kaylamarie]

She said she suddenly felt this big hand pull her into him and then they were hit. This man knew he was about to die and he still enveloped her body to absorb the trauma.. he shielded her! That is a real man and true hero. God bless both of them.

[d_a_n_a.]

What’s even sadder is that this man had already lost his 18-year-old daughter who died of a brain tumour. May God bless him

Edit: not sure why but I somehow started a debate on whether God exists/is good. I was really just empathising with the guy. Let’s stop overthinking everything

[rachelwyatt]

This young man sacrificed himself for a stranger which happened to be a mother to two children. He’s a true hero!!!

[whoopdeedo]

The fact that his instinct was to shield her and not to try to get out of the way tells me all I need to know about his character. May he rest in peace.

When he said his son was a good boy, you could hear how proud and sad he is. He did a good job, it’s tragic young men like him are taken off the earth. We need more of them.

[jorgevazquez]

He’s much more than a good boy. He’s a selfless and heroic human being.

[whocares]

He's my hero too. I'm not gonna lie I'm tearing up I started crying when she apologized & more so when she told his dad how it went down.May he R.I.P & condolences to his friends & family.

Sometimes the good die young, focus on his last moments of heroism. Nice job saving that Mom young man RIP.

[TD-spks]

You know what I love about this? This young man is still being remembered for his sacrifice all these years later. You and I, strangers from all over are coming together saying how good of a man he is. This says a lot, the fact that he is still remembered and not forgotten should speaks volumes because his legacy has survived. Heros get remembered but legends never die, follow your heart and you'll never go wrong. I hope that the father and the woman he saved are doing well and have found some measure of comfort.

[JadedMuse]

This is heartbreaking. You can tell where the son got his selflessness from. The father is grieving the loss of his son and he's comforting her. I can only imagine how they both feel.

[Kenny-mejf]

The fact he sacrificed everything he could, knowing the chances of them surviving was slim. He did his best to give her a chance by wrapping his body around her. What a hero

[prestonpowers]

I'm sure the father is heart broken but at least he can rest assured he raised a polite, respectful, gentleman who died a hero. He should be very proud

[whazzlegaming]

4 Years later and this man will never be forgoten. He din't hesitate and that shows he had love for life and for people. It also shows he was smart and aware of his surroundings, thanks to him a mother can see her children grow up. Many blessings to both familys and may peace be with everyone reading this

[ldawg]

The level of pride/heartbreak the father must be feeling simultaneously, is absolutely insane. Losing a loved one, especially child, is something no one will ever be able to get over.. but it's definitely got to be comforting knowing they went out like a total, ultimate badass, in the most brave, heroic, selfless way imaginable.

"Y'all ladies don't need to be out here pushing on this car". Good man, and an example of a what it really means to be one. Always help, you never know what could happen if you don't.

[shawnsgirlever]

No greater love is this that a man would lay down his life for another

[nikkidevnew]

Your son, Michael Donnelly was a true hero and you raised him right. Never forget that.

[HirstMovies]

“Heroes are people who do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do….and with that I say with great power comes great responsibility”. This man is a TRUE hero and I hope he has gained the respect he deserves
