The sedan did not have enough time to slow down before impacting the turning van. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe rammed into the back of the minivan,\u201d said Hogan. \u201cThe minivan goes off on the side of the road and flips over into a ditch. The man\u2019s sedan swerved into oncoming traffic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hogan made the quick decision to park his car on the shoulder and rush to the man\u2019s aid. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI opened the door and the man takes his seat belt off, and I grabbed under his arms to help him stand up, as soon as I pull him to me I took one step back and another car had hit us head on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second car was a pickup truck which smashed into the car while Hogan and the driver we still behind the sedan\u2019s door.<\/p>\n<p>The impact of the collision launched both men approximately 20 feet into the air. Discarding his personal safety, Hogan got up and returned to the sedan driver who was still in immediate danger by lying on the active road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stood up and looked at my arms and legs to make sure I didn\u2019t have any broken bones,\u201d said Hogan. \u201cI ran over to the man and picked him up from under his arms and took him to the side of the road. His eyes were pretty dilated and he was having trouble looking left to right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hogan gave the man a concussion test, and attended the man until paramedics arrived on the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Following the incident Hogan was hospitalized for a bruised kidney and minor lacerations on his body from the broken glass.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AW1Ed sends us a link to the story of Marine Corps Corporal Miles Hogan who was &hellip; <a title=\"Marine Corps Corporal Miles Hogan saving the world\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=74377\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Marine Corps Corporal Miles Hogan saving the world<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":74378,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[184],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-marine-corps"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/74378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
