This family survived a hellish event. Their truck overturned on the road after a tornado and flood hit Texas over the weekend. In the car, a family (including a baby and a toddler) fought for their lives. A group of good samaritans came to the rescue and the entire dramatic moment was caught on video. Among the group was Jaime Martinez, who was once a firefighter in his native Guatemala. His brave expertise was put into practice and it was life-changing for this family.

Martinez told NBC News, "People were crying. There was a lot of confusion. The parents were still in the car at the time. Everyone was trying to do as much as they could do." The video is pretty graphic and depicts how the infant's lifeless body was dragged out of the car and resuscitated. Martinez performed CPR on the child while a woman prayed for God to help.
Thanks to this dedicated and caring group of heroes, the 4-month-old baby named Marshall and 18-month-old toddler named Addy survived. The parents Phillip and Emily Ocheltree, who were also rescued from the truck, are eternally grateful.
Phillip shared an update on his daughter Addy and wrote, in part, "I can't thank you all enough who came into the water and saved my children your a blessing thank you all so much."
Just one hour ago, the parents also shared an update of Addy on Facebook. She's healthy and walking around in the hospital. This proves that miracles do exist and there are still angels that walk this earth to help others.
