"Thank God I was slow. If I had been faster, maybe I wouldn't even be here telling this story," he said.

The wife said she received a call from her husband asking for help and, initially, she thought it was a joke. "When I arrived at the scene, I found my husband lying on the ground and being supported by the passenger. It was desperate," she said. According to Marcilene, the couple's 7-year-old son was also shaken when he saw the images of the accident. The family asks that the driver be identified and held responsible. "My husband is the only breadwinner in the house. The driver caused the accident, heard the requests to stop and left. He could have destroyed a family," he said.
