With an out-of-control car bearing down, Joseph Richardson grabbed his 4-year-old daughter and held her up out of harm's way.

Unbelievably sad

Wow, that's such a sad story. The guy's a hero. The part about his twin gave me chills. I have twin cousins, and there's no doubt they have a special connection. I've read about other occasions where twins "feel" something that happens to their other half. Freaky.

You're right-that guy is a hero. I would like to think that if I were suddenly in a situation like that, that I would have enough clarity to react the same way.

Very sad

But what an amazing father. I'm sure many of us have done it, but it really can't be stressed enough how bad of an idea it is to have too much to drink and then try to drive.

Wow and Oh Man

This guy is definitely a hero and it is very sad that he is no longer with his children. His last act is amazing and it is pretty wild what his twin was able to feel as well. May his family treasure his memory and may his children always remember that daddy is a hero.
