San Antonio, Texas. Just last month on September 19th, a young man by the name of Dominic Iverson was riding his motorcycle through San Antonio.
Dominic approached an intersection, and a driver who had a red light on their side ran right through the light.
This person slammed right into Dominic, t-boning him in the process, and they didn’t even stop to help him.
Although the reckless driver did not slow down or try to assist Dominic in any way, a good samaritan did.
The good samaritan who rushed to Dominic’s side literally saved his life that day with their actions.

“Sunday evening we received the call that every parent dreads,” Dominic’s date wrote in a Facebook post two days after Dominic’s terrible accident.
“While on his motorcycle, Dominic was hit by a car that ran a red light and fled. We only knew he had serious injuries and was in surgery.”
“Two of the three major arteries in his leg were severed and a stranger saved his life by applying a tourniquet.”

Dominic is lucky to be alive, and he has had to undergo multiple painful surgeries, in addition to a bone transport, on his leg that was injured badly.
He is still on the long and slow road to recovery, and he is also still looking for the good samaritan who stepped in on the day of the hit-and-run.
In a post from yesterday, Dominic’s mom Elizabeth said on Facebook, “We’re so proud of our son for his grateful and courageous heart. He seems to always find the good in tough situations.”
“May he find his “Good Samaritan” who saved his life. We have little to offer you but our deepest gratitude and sincerest appreciation.”
Lynette Perez, a friend of Dominic’s mom, has created a GoFundMe to help Dominic out as he recovers.
