Man dies while saving his daughter…
A story from Chicago. Learned about it from Phil.
With an out-of-control car bearing down, Joseph Richardson grabbed his 4-year-old daughter and held her up out of harm’s way.
It was his last act — and one that apparently saved his daughter’s life. (…)
Richardson was walking his daughter to a McDonald’s for burgers at 6:40 p.m. Monday when a 1990 Chevy Cavalier jumped a curb and careened towards them, police said, citing witness accounts.
He grabbed his daughter just before the car slammed the two into the fence, police said.
Richardson was pronounced dead shortly after the crash — a loss his twin, Timothy, said he felt before he was told.
