Always interesting to see what stories media runs with. Headline anthropomorphizing the truck that crashed into a man, which made him thrust his child to safety and lose his foot and part of his leg to eventual amputation.
You'd think they'd cover why a truck was driven into a family and who drove it, but no.
Instead it's another inspiration porn story about disability. Every comment talking about his "great attitude" and no one questioning why & how a truck was driven into him. No reference to whatever (if any) coverage there was on the crash.
