When a FedEx delivery driver stumbled upon a serious car accident, he immediately pulled over to help. However, once he heard that a little boy was still trapped inside the wrecked vehicle, he immediately sprang to action — and it was all caught on video.
Damien Rose was looking forward to a quiet evening after completing his shift as a FedEx delivery driver in South Carolina. What he didn’t anticipate was that his drive home would entail coming to the rescue of a terrified little boy. Rose was traveling down a highway in Moncks Corner when he was forced to slow down for a major car accident involving two vehicles near the median, WYFF reported. Instead of squeezing around the accident, Rose trusted his instinct, which told him that the people involved needed immediate help.
Rose parked the truck and rushed out to see if anyone was injured since the people involved seemed to be alright and were standing outside of their vehicles. Just then, he heard three words that sent his pulse racing.
The kid in question was a little boy who was still strapped in his car seat inside one of the wrecked vehicles. With smoke seeping out from somewhere under the hood, Rose knew he had no time to waste if he was going to get the child to safety.
Damien Rose pried open the door, unbuckled the terrified child, and rushed him away from the car. The FedEx truck’s security camera captured the little boy laying his head on Rose’s chest as he carried him away.

Rose said both families were relieved that he stopped to come to their aid. While they thanked him, he admitted that he’s the one who feels grateful to be able to help. He explained that his grandma was once in a similar accident and he’s glad someone was there to save her as well. No further details were released about the accident. However, all involved are incredibly grateful that Rose was there to assist and comfort them until emergency first responders arrived. As for the hero, he’s hoping his efforts result in good karma.
Damien Rose is a hero in every sense of the word. He not only risked his own safety to remove a child from danger but he even stayed with another victim to offer them some comfort until they could be rescued.
Our humanity is based on how willing we are to go out of our way to help one another. Even if those involved in the accident weren’t in immediate danger, the fact that this man didn’t hesitate to place himself in a possibly risky situation speaks volumes about his character.
