A woman fell and lost grip of her stroller, causing it to roll towards the busy four-lane highway. Just as a tragedy seemed inevitable, a man appeared and ran to grab the stroller, bringing it to a safe stop.
The heart-stopping incident was captured and shared on social media by a Twitter user with the handle USSGoodGirl on May 2. The user suggested that the windy weather in California that day might have been the cause of the woman's fall.
According to the footage, she stepped out of her car in a parking lot in Hesperia and suddenly fell, losing her grip on the stroller.
She slipped and fell to the ground as she tried to run after it. She tried to get up and chase after the stroller, which was rolling towards the highway.
A man dressed in black ran from the right and stopped the stroller just in time, only a few steps away from the speeding cars.
NBCLA later identified the hero as Ron Nessman, who was in the area to interview for a job to continue helping the homeless. He had been in a situation for years until recently when he started living with his sister, Donna Gunderson.
Expressing his gratitude, Nessman said to the local station that he was able to do it as he knew he could, and he didn't want to imagine what would have happened if he wasn't there.
The woman who lost control of the stroller, the baby's aunt, injured her knee when she fell, Nessman said, adding that he hugged her after returning the baby safely without any harm.
