Two teenage friends from Minooka, Illinois, 16-year-old Hunter Hasenjaeger and 17-year-old Collin Barry, were heading home just after midnight. Suddenly, they came upon a horrifying scene on the road.
First, the teens saw a Chrysler 300. The front of the car was totaled on the driver’s side. Then, they heard the sound of a baby screaming and crying at the top of her lungs.
Hunter and Collin then saw 27-year-old Alexis Danley, who was deceased… and six months pregnant when she died.
The teens didn’t know it at the time, but the man who struck and killed Alexis would be arrested for driving under the influence.
Alexis’ hand was reaching back to grab the baby seat, where her 1-year-old daughter was sitting, completely terrified.
Hunter instantly felt a connection to the helpless little girl. Since the police hadn’t yet arrived, the teenage boys knew they had to do something — and they began working together to pull the child to safety.
