8-year-old hit by car and dragged, good Samaritan comes to rescue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Brown, a student here at UW-Whitewater. He is 23 years of age. In September 2014, Joseph saw an accident occur on Edgerton Ave. in Milwaukee, WI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He witnessed an 8-year-old get hit by a car and get dragged because the driver did not stop. When he was 15 years old, he would be forced to walk to school because the school did not have enough parking. He also didn\u2019t have his permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The child that got hit was Joe\u2019s little brother\u2019s best friend, named Isiah. The school bus pulled up to the stop, 3 kids get off, Isiah lives across the street from the bus stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe\u2019s brother comes to him, Isiah looks both ways twice across the street. Joe\u2019s brother who loves birds looks at a bird, meanwhile, Joe turns around and at this point Isiah is hit head on by the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The car continued to drive, not knowing they hit Isiah. Brown says. \u201cTears were streaming down my face when I turned around and saw Isiah getting dragged.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the people around were flabbergasted at what just happened. Joe at this time was an Eagle Scout, Joe decided to run in front of the car, which continued driving. Joe then turns and goes to the driver side of the car and pulls the driver out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody starts running to help Isiah as he is still under the car and Joe is calming him down at this point. Isiah is transported to Children\u2019s Hospital in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown was interviewed by police when they arrived at the scene. The firefighters said that one more wheel rotation would have killed Isiah. Brown responded, \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d. Brown also responded with, \u201cI did not help Isiah for the awards or recognition, I did it to be a good neighbor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown was eventually awarded a plaque by Gov. Scott Walker. Brown was at Labor Fest in Milwaukee; Secret Service took them backstage to speak at Pres. Barack Obama\u2019s speech during the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, Isiah ended up with a few broken bones and collapsed lung.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
