Holly McNally was on her way home from the NICU just days after giving birth when she ran to the rescue of a man in flames on after a horrific accident.
. And who could blame them? You're sore, you're tired, and your body is still adjusting to the fact that you justthe size of a watermelon. But when Holly McNally saw a person in need on Thursday afternoon, it didn't matter that she had just given birthran to the rescue of a man who was literally on fireRight before her, clear as day, she could see a man running down the exit ramp of the I-70 in Indianapolis, Indiana, consumed by flames.“I guess mom- and gut-instinct,” she said.
Just moments earlier, McNally had been visiting her son Connor in the NICU, but now she was springing into action. Incredibly, the driver was still talking -- enough to tell his heroic rescuers what his name was, and what had happened.That information was all they needed to know that it was time to run -- and"I was like, 'Oh my Gosh! We have to go now," McNally recalled."I was on Jeff's left side, the other guy was on his right and we're trying to carry him down.""It was getting closer and closer," she said of the approaching fire.
Still, the whole rescuing-a-man-while-running-from-an-exploding-tanker thing trumps giving birth with hardly any assistance on the intensity scale.In the end, McNally says it was a little voice inside her that said"what if that was my son?" that ultimately pushed her to help Dunham.Still, her fellow good samaritan, Mitch Navarre, later spoke with reporters for RTV6 and shared another part of the story that he hopes others hear loud and clear.
