Miraculous Rescue After Atlanta Crash

When he witnessed a serious accident occur in front of him in Atlanta last week, Lubavitcher singer/songwriter Aaron Holder did not hesitate to run and assist – despite the fact that doing so put his own life in danger. For his heroic actions, Holder was commended by the Atlanta Jewish Times.

From the Atlanta Jewish Times:

A serious East Cobb traffic accident Tuesday, March 15, at the intersection of Johnson Ferry and Roswell roads had an unlikely hero in Aaron Holder.

Holder was inside the nearby Sprint store when he witnessed a blinding flash of light and heard a deafening crash.

“G-d just puts me into situations he knows I can handle, I guess,” said Holder, who ran across the street to the accident and found two men opening the passenger door to assist the driver, who veered into a power pole after suffering a stroke.

“I went over to the driver-side door, and there were wires and fuel leaking everywhere,” Holder said. “I opened up the door, and with the help of one of those two guys, we got her out of the car. It was very surreal.”

“I don’t usually go that way, and there was no need for me to go to that Sprint store,” Holder said. “It was a miracle that she survived, a miracle that I was there and able to help, and a miracle that everyone did their part to make sure that things went right. It was all a miracle, thanks to G-d.”
