5-Year-Old Girl Saves Brother And Mother From Car Crash

Sometimes, parents need help from their children too.

Meet Lexi

Lexi Shymanski is a brave 5-year-old girl who helped save her brother and mother from a terrible accident.

On A Monday

One Monday in June, Angela Shymanski was driving her family through the Canadian Rockies in Alberta.

Not Fit To Drive

Angela was tired during that time so out of concern for her children, she decided to pull over at a nearby rest stop. However, it was too difficult to stay awake.

A Terrible Accident

Their car then crashed down a 40-foot-deep embankment on the side of the road, causing several life-threatening injuries to Angela and her infant son, Peter.

Her Response

5-year-old Lexi who was unharmed unbuckled herself from her booster seat, opened the door, and walked up the steep embankment to look for help.

Looking For Help

Knowing that her mother and brother’s life were in her hands, Lexi climbed up the steep terrain barefoot then reached the side of the road and flagged down passing drivers for help.

Right Place And Time

Luckily for the Shymanskis, Lonnie and Jeremia Jurek saw Lexi on the road. They followed her down the embankment, and when they saw the wreck, they called the paramedics.

A Bronze Medal

Lexi’s parents are grateful to have their own little angel, and even the Edmonton police rewarded Lexi with a bronze medal for her bravery.
