She was stuck in an upside-down car, scared and quiet. He couldn’t get her out, so he held her hand.

When Nathaniel Bunn saw the crash in Pittsburgh, he didn’t run away—he ran toward it. The car had flipped and was lying on its roof. Some people were trying to open the door, but it was stuck.

“I just sat down and told her to hold my hand,” Bunn told WTAE, through CNN News Source. “She squeezed it, just needing comfort.”

She never said a word. She just held on tightly as he kept telling her help was coming.

Bunn said the moment was hard to take in, especially since many people were filming instead of helping. “It made me feel sad,” he said. “It just showed how the world is changing.”

Still, he stayed with her until the paramedics arrived.

Later, he called the hospital just to check on her. “They told me no one was in critical condition,” he said. “I didn’t even know her name.”

He hopes she’s getting better—and hopes others learn something from that day.

“If you ever see someone who needs help, try to help them,” Bunn said. “Don’t just think about yourself.”
