Not all heroes wear capes, but some do wear the golden arches on their chest.
Pedro Viloria, an employee of a McDonald's in Doral, Fla., is being called a hero after he jumped through the restaurant's drive-thru window to rescue a customer who fell unconscious at the wheel.
A woman, who happened to be an off-duty officer, was in the SUV with two children in the back seat when Viloria noticed she began to breathe abnormally. She fell unconscious, her foot slipped off the breaks and her car began to roll forward.
Viloria, 22, didn't hesitate to jump out the window after the vehicle. The car narrowly missed the car in front of it and came to a stop against a nearby curb. Viloria instructed the children to call 911, and got the attention of two firefighters as well as an off-duty paramedic who happened to be eating inside. The woman was rushed to the hospital and her condition is currently unknown.
McDonald's released the following statement on the incident.
"First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers are with the officer and her family during this difficult time. I think I speak for our McDonald’s family when I say how proud we are of Pedro. He is an excellent employee, so it didn’t surprise me that he took immediate action and jumped through a window to help save this woman. And he was not the only member of the team that played a pivotal role in ensuring she received the medical attention she needed. A second employee, who asked to remain unnamed, assisted with CPR. Their quick thinking and action were everything in that moment."
