送货司机冲进迎面而来的车流，勇敢救下蹒跚学步的孩子

As a food delivery driver, Gerson Tavares can accept or refuse food requests on his phone. It was getting late, but he chose to go ahead and do one last order. Little did he know, that choice would lead him to saving a child’s life.

As Gerson was driving down the busy Burbank Boulevard in California, something caught his eye in the darkness. Looking closer, he saw a child walking in the middle of the street just a few feet in front of his car.

Without hesitation(犹豫), the dad of four parked right where he was and ran toward the child.“I run more and more,” Gerson said. “I know if I got out of the lane the drivers don’t see the boy. The boy is little, little.”

In hindsight, Gerson said he was so distracted that he didn’t even realize he was running into oncoming traffic. Luckily, he thought to wave his arms around to make sure other drivers could see where he was.“When the drivers stopped, I’m like, OK. I grabbed the boy in my arms, thank you God,” Gerson said.

Traffic came to a halt, and he was able to get the 2-year-old safely off the road. Fittingly, they ended up right in front of a church.

The Los Angeles Police Department was able to contact the child’s parents, and he’s now back at home. We can’t imagine how thankful his family is to that Gerson was brave enough to save their little boy! Despite his heroic act, Gerson doesn’t view it that way. “I’m not the hero,” he said. “God is the hero.”
