His father suddenly fell ill, and the boy wanted to save him.

A three-year-old boy drove onto a road in a toy car to save his father, who had suffered a seizure. That is how he wanted to raise the alarm and ask for help. Mirror reports this.

Stefan Snowden from the village of Twenty in the English county of Lincolnshire “drove” his toy truck nearly 500 metres along a busy road to tell someone that his father Mark had fallen ill at home.

The boy’s 25-year-old mother explained that his 28-year-old father had suffered a seizure and lost consciousness. After that, the boy left the house, got into the toy car and “drove” off to get help. Passing cars honked at him. After some time, the child was spotted by two women.

It was they who managed to stop the flow of traffic and take the boy off the carriageway. Stefan told them that his “dad is unwell”. One of the women took the boy to her home and tried to entertain him until the police arrived.

Police said that Stefan’s father is now fine. The Snowden family is “very grateful to the two incredible women” who helped their son. Police also added that without their quick reaction on the road, the child could have suffered serious injuries or even worse.
