Good Samaritan help elderly couple
Another act of kindness reported by TUKO.co.ke, an elderly couple was rescued from a burning car by several good Samaritans after their car was engulfed in flames.
The incident happened in California, US, on Monday, September 6, when a woman named Marie Macrorie started filming after passing the scene of the burning car.
According to Fox 2 Detroit, Marie, a nurse, was with her husband, a retired firefighter, and the two pulled over to go and provide assistance to the old couple.
The victims aged 90 and 94 were lucky to have been rescued by the group, coming from a Bible study.
According to Marie, the good Samaritans told her they felt like God had directed them to the spot, adding she saw strangers treat people they did not know with love.
She said she had never seen such heroism in her life, and it made her very hopeful.
