Darrell Krushelnicki didn't think twice when he pulled his Hummer in front of a speeding car in order to prevent four children crossing the street from being mowed down.

"I could just tell it was a bad scenario that was going to take place," said Krushelnicki, who works in the oilpatch in northern B.C. "The driver did not see the crosswalk, the amber light flashing, nor the posted speed limit and he appeared to be on a hand-held device of some sort talking."

In order to prevent a disaster, Krushelnicki drove his vehicle in front of the speeding car, which hit the front end of his passenger side, pushing in the bumper and grill.

Thumbs down why? Sounds like the guy was decent person injecting himself between pedestrians and an inattentive driver.

Bet insurance doesn't pay for anything since it was a deliberate act on his part that caused damage, they might even have to pay for the vehicle that he stopped knowing how idiotic laws and policies work sometimes.

Thumbs down why?

To trick negative people into reading a positive story.

To trick negative people into reading a positive story.

Good luck with that.

Seriously, good luck.

I wish there was a diagram to show how it happened.

Typical police statement: "Of course, we don't recommend that people do this."
