“Her husband said that she was stuck, but I couldn’t get her out,” said Rose, according to Local 12. “I went to the other side to try to get her out again, and pull the door, but it still didn’t work.”
The family talked about their gratitude for Rose’s heroic actions and instincts.
“My grandma got in an accident before, and somebody was there to save her,” Rose said, according to the news station.
According to Rose, he’s the one who feels grateful.
“Hopefully, blessings come back,” Rose said. “It always comes back. I never trip about things like that.”
“If you’re in public, and you see anything, even if it’s not an accident, just anything in danger, you should actually tend to be safe for yourself, be cautious and everything, but you should react and tend to it,” Rose said.
