A grandma is grateful to God for sending a Good Samaritan her way to rescue her when her car suddenly burst into flames, and she couldn’t get out.

Car In Raging Inferno

Kristine Smith, her granddaughter, and her husband were in the car last Wednesday when they suddenly heard a “pop.” The next thing they knew, the car was already engulfed with flames. It burst too quickly that Kristine couldn’t get out of the car because she recently had knee surgery.

This grandma thought that was the end for her because of the car’s raging inferno. And she thought no one would dare stop to help her. But she was wrong because God sent her a Good Samaritan.

“It could have blown at any time. It went that fast,” the elderly told KCRA-TV. “I wasn’t thinking of anybody stopping in that situation because the fire was so big.”

Elton Ward apparently passed by the road with his daughter when they saw the vehicle in flames. He immediately pulled over to help and rushed towards the burning car. He risked his own life and pulled Kristine out of the car without any hesitation.

“We see this car in flames, so I’m like, ‘That’s insane,'” Elton told KCRA-TV. “Literally in a matter of 30 seconds, boom, first explosion, loud, big, big explosion.”

Then he continued, “Then when that explosion happened, huge flames came up.”

Elton successfully pulled out Kristine to safety. Afterwards, she thanked God for sending him her way to rescue her.

“Thank the good Lord, He sent me a good Samaritan that stopped for me,” she testified.

Later on, the two reunited, and Kristine thanked Elton for his kindness. They became close after the life-threatening incident, and both plan to keep in touch.

The grateful grandma told Elton, “You became my grandson that day.”

Praise God for all He has done!

People trapped in an elevator of a Chicago skyscraper, the fourth largest building in the Windy City, forms a prayer circle before it falls to 84 floors.

Trapped In An Elevator

On Nov. 16, 2018, the elevator of a Chicago skyscraper, popularly called the John Hancock Center at 875 North Michigan Avenue, suddenly broke down. And when it happened, a group of visitors was inside the elevator.

Jaime Montemayor, one of the visitors from Mexico, thought that was the end of their lives.

“At the beginning, I believed we were going to die,” he said. “We were going down and then I felt that we were falling down and then I heard a noise — clack clack clack clack clack clack.”

His wife, Maña Montemayor, also added, “I knew something wasn’t OK.”

Prayer Circle

Four other people were also trapped inside the elevator with them. Fear engulfed the group as they waited on what would happen. But the Montemayors began to hold each other and prayed. And soon, the others joined with them and formed a prayer circle. Prayers began to arise from the group amid the scary moment.

Rescue Operation

Meanwhile, rescuers outside had problems reaching them.

Chicago Battalion Fire Chief Patrick Maloney explained, “It was a precarious situation where we had the cable break on top of the elevator. (W)e couldn’t do an elevator-to-elevator rescue. We had to breach a wall.”

Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford also added that they don’t like to breach walls “unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

He explained, “The only other way to get to the elevator would have been ropes from the 97th floor. And that would not be safe. We don’t come down like Batman, so we must go through the wall.”

Finally, after three hours, the responders rescued all the passengers. They all made it safe, and no one had to go to the hospital. Later on, they realized how they had fallen from the building’s Signature Room on the 95th floor to the 11th floor.

Praise God for the protection He gave them!

A woman’s car was overturned in a tree after an accident and trapped her. She screamed and cried out for help until God sent someone to rescue her.

Woman Trapped Inside Overturned Car

Yata Yeawolo was in a car accident in Oxford, Massachusetts, a few days ago. In an interview with 7NEWS, she detailed how the accident landed her car upside down in the ditch. Apparently, she dropped off her 3-year-old son at daycare when her car got turned around on route 56 and went across the lanes.

“It just happened so fast. It just lost control and went boom! Into the ditch,” she recalled. Then the next thing Yata knew, she was already at the top of a tree.

“Nobody could hear me screaming on top of my lungs. I was crying, I had no help, and I’m facing down. My car is up in a tree,” she recounted.

God Sends Good Samaritan

Meanwhile, Dylan Dauphinee passed on that same route that day.

“It rained very briefly for about 10-15 minutes,” he recalled. “I don’t know what happened. Everything was just a skating rink of ice.”

The Good Samaritan narrated that he slowed down to avoid danger when he saw Yata’s car.

“I saw this poor woman’s silver Camry upside down, about 10 feet in a ditch, lying vertical,” he said. Then he approached the car to check if a person was trapped. There he saw Yata.

“I pressed my hand against the glass, and [Dylan] said, ‘Hey, are you okay?’ And she just looked at me. And I remember her eyes and her hair dangling over because she’s hung upside down, and she said, ‘I’m okay, I’m okay.'”

“Yelling, ‘Is anybody alive? Is anybody alive?’ And I’m like, ‘Help! I’m here,'” Yata recalled. “He couldn’t hear and came to the front side and said, ‘Are you alive?’ I said, ‘Yes,’ and he said, ‘Oh thank God, she’s alive!”

Soon, Dylan called 911, and firefighters rescued Yata. Thankfully, they managed to pull her out to safety.

Yata didn’t know the kind stranger’s identity. But they met again to thank him. The mom of three said, “I would have been dead. I’m not supposed to be alive right now. God sent you [Dylan] to rescue me.”

Yata also has the sticker “Jesus loves you” on the hood of her car.
