Pamela Jones is a nurse. She has been helping people for years, always going above and beyond to save lives and comfort her patients.
A few days ago, it was her turn to need help, but nobody seemed willing to help her.
On February 5 a little after 8 pm, Jones was returning home after seeing a patient. While she was trying to switch lanes on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, she was hit by another car.
The crash caused her car to spin and flip over, ending up crashing into an embankment. Jones was trapped in her car, injured but still alive.
One would have expected that someone driving by must have stopped, but this was not the case here.
“There was at least 150 cars that passed on the turnpike. I can’t believe nobody stopped,” Jones told 6abc.
Jones, a mother and grandmother, believes that she wouldn’t have made it out of the car alive if it hadn’t been for a man and his son stopping by to see what had happened and if someone needed help.
Mike and Drew Lottier happened to be driving by Jones’ crashed car, and they stopped to check on it without giving it a second thought.
“Mike Lottier and his 15-year-old son, they were my angels on this earth, and I am forever grateful to them,” said Jones.
Indeed, the two men approached the car, looking for survivors. When they heard a woman screaming for help, they knew they had to act quickly.
So, Drew stayed with the woman trying to calm her down, while his father called 911.
Although Jones doesn’t remember much of the accident, one thing she knows for sure is that these two men are heroes. They selflessly rushed to help her and she is alive thanks to their intervention.
But Drew and Mike don’t accept the “hero” label. They believe that they just did what anyone should have done if they found themselves in a similar position.
“I just couldn’t imagine if I was in that position and no one stopped for me,” said 15-year-old Drew Lottier of La Salle High School.
Mike is proud of his son, and he is sure that his wife, their family, and La Salle High School have inspired and shaped the teenager’s character.
Indeed, as the father says, when there’s someone in need, he and his family are there to help.
Mike added that it was a miracle that Jones got out of the car alive, based on the damage her car had suffered.
There was glass everywhere, the sunroof was shattered, and debris was shattered across the turnpike. Chances were the driver wouldn’t have made it. But there she is today, alive and well, thanks to these two angels on earth.
From now on, one thing is for sure, she will never take returning home for granted.
Jones also said she is grateful for the help she received from first responders.
“Our firefighters, our police officers, EMT crews, they are so necessary people don’t know how necessary they are unless they need them. I needed them. They were all there for me, all of them,” she said, crying tears of joy.
