Lopez saw his actions as part of his duty as a first responder, noting that any of his colleagues would have done the same. Sadly, the crash resulted in fatalities, including a mother and daughter. A 6-year-old girl from one vehicle sustained serious injuries, while the 4-year-old girl comforted by Lopez had minor injuries.
The public response highlighted the firefighter’s genuine kindness, recognizing it as both a fatherly and heroic act, with many expressing their prayers and well-wishes for the accident’s victims.
