While on her mail route, USPS carrier Sarah Van de Laar witnessed a car crash in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and immediately jumped into action to provide life-saving CPR. Sarah saw a red sedan careen off the road and into a person’s yard. She stopped her route, approached the disoriented driver, and called 911 as the man slumped unconscious in his seat. Van de Laar, along with another passerby, pulled the driver from the vehicle and she began chest compressions. The driver was rushed to the hospital, and a month later, Van de Laar learned her quick thinking had saved his life. The six-year postal veteran was awarded for her heroism, though she humbly said she was “just being a human.” Van de Laar was one of only a few who stopped to help, as most drivers passed by the accident scene.
