As a construction worker for the Virginia Department of Transportation, Kevin Huntington is no stranger to the dangers of Interstate highways, and he knows to always keep his eyes open. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time to save a life when a teen girl jumped out of a moving car and asked him for help.
While Huntington didn’t know the backstory of the 18-year-old’s abduction, he stepped up to protect the terrified teenager from her abuser. “I immediately called [911] and then told her to stay behind me, that I wouldn’t let anything happen to her,” the construction worker told Dateline NBC.
