Itthiphon Petchphibunpong saved the life of a young girl

This is the incredible moment a hero biker saved the life of a young girl having an epileptic fit – by rushing her to the hospital while her family was stuck in a traffic jam.

The girl’s father Sorachat Sadudee, 51, was driving home after picking up his two daughters from school in Phitsanulok, central Thailand. His youngest daughter Kaimook, eight, told him that she felt sick and very tired, so he tried to make his way home as quickly as he could.

But the girl had a potentially deadly tonic seizure and started to foam at the mouth before she eventually passed out on the passenger seat while they were stuck at a junction. “At that moment, she was in a very terrible condition. Her hands were jerking, her mouth had turned green, and her body was so pale with a high temperature too” Sadudee said.

Passing biker Itthiphon Petchphibunpong, 28, noticed the panic-stricken family inside the black sedan frantically trying to wake the girl up.

Footage from his helmet’s camera shows the biker quickly parking his motorcycle and approaching the car. Sorachat told Itthiphon what was happening and the biker took action.

Sorachat parked the car at the roadside and carried his unconscious daughter to the big motorcycle. Soon, Itthiphon was rushing them to the hospital as fast as possible as he expertly maneuvered through Thailand’s notoriously bad rush hour traffic.

Thanks to Itthiphon’s quick actions, the three of them arrived at the hospital’s emergency ward in just four minutes. The medical staff managed to save Kaimook, and she was transferred to another hospital for further treatment. Sorachat said, “I couldn’t thank him enough for his kindness. He saved my daughter’s life. As soon as she is fully recovered, I’ll take her to meet him and thank him again in person.”

Itthiphon didn’t think much of it as he just wanted to help the child. ”At first, I was also surprised to see her having a seizure. I didn’t know how to treat her but I knew that I could take her to the hospital with my motorcycle. As I am also a father, I know what it feels like to see our children collapsed and in pain in front of us. So, I didn’t even hesitate to help her,” the heroic man said.
