Off-duty firefighter uses his Vibe to save a life

Post by micbarric »

Unfortunately, the news station does not have the original video which aired Sunday evening that clearly showed a 2003 or 2004 Vibe. But if you look close in the newer video in the article below, you'll see the back of the Vibe that was used to stop the other vehicle.

Nice story with hopefully a happy ending ;) Looks like the Vibe may have very minor rear bumper damage at worst case. Definitely worth it to prevent what could have been a disastrous & deadly situation. :)

Great story! Definitely worth a little damage to the Vibe to save someone's life! Truly a hero (with great choice in vehicles :D)!
