    A group of bystanders helped rescue a truck driver who was trapped in his overturned big rig on Highway 316 near Jonestown, Mississippi, on Friday morning. The Coahoma County Fire Department reports that the accident happened just before noon, prompting a response from emergency crews. When firefighters and EMS units from Pafford arrived, they found that the driver had already been pulled from the vehicle by a group of good Samaritans. No other vehicles appeared to be involved in the crash.

    A 16-year-old lifeguard in Maricopa, Arizona, is being recognized as a hero after saving two children from potential drowning at the Copper Sky Aquatics Center during his first month on the job. Last weekend, Davian Herrera noticed a young girl, Jude, struggling in the deep section of the pool and quickly jumped in to rescue her. Surveillance video captured the incident, and Jude’s mother, Natalie Davis, says her daughter was taken to the hospital and is now doing well.

    Last week, a pair of hikers from New York were rescued after being struck by lightning near the summit of Torreys Peak, a 14,000-foot mountain in Colorado. The incident occurred late Thursday during a road trip hike, after they became disoriented while climbing a more technical route. Rescuers believe the rescue sets a new altitude record for helicopter operations in Colorado. The men had just reached the summit when one of them called to report the lightning strike.

    An 18-year-old from Marblehead, Massachusetts, is getting praise for stepping in to stop a bitcoin scam. Addy Mooney noticed an older woman acting oddly at a store, on the phone and fumbling with a bitcoin ATM. Something felt off, so even after leaving, she followed her gut, called the police, and ran back to check on the woman. Addy found her in the parking lot and gently asked to see her phone. What she saw were romantic messages and step-by-step instructions for sending $19-thousand in bitcoin.

    A Raleigh, North Carolina, family has been reunited with their beloved dog, Charlie, more than two years after he went missing. The 13-year-old blind pup disappeared in late 2022 from the backyard of Bebe Davison’s home. The family immediately launched a search, putting food and familiar items outside, hoping to draw Charlie in, and even hiring a professional pet tracker, Balynda Brown of Bravo K911.
