High school athlete saves toddler in road

Fortunately there are some teenagers out there that seem to have their wits about them. While driving in the early morning to catch his track team’s bus to go to a meet, Shane Biggs saw a little boy wandering in the middle of the road, a tragic accident waiting to happen.

“What? Is that a little boy? I thought I was seeing things,” said Biggs, who estimated the toddler’s age at 2 years old. “I go, ‘Are you lost?,’ and he was just crying, walking down the road. I took him by the shoulder and guided him over to the side of the road. Right when I did that, my sprinting coach was coming over the hill, and he probably wouldn’t have seen him.”

Biggs stayed with the toddler, who said his name was Matthew, until police arrived. They searched nearby homes. Several other cars had stopped by this time, and those drivers helped with the search. One of those volunteers eventually located the boy’s home less than a mile away.
