A teenage girl in Tennessee is being hailed a hero for risking her life to save another person.

Earlier this month, Lily Baker, 18, saved a woman in a wheelchair from getting hit by a train at a railroad crossing in Giles County with only seconds to spare, according to local news WTVF, WKRN and WAFF.

Baker told WTVF that she spotted the woman in need of help crossing the tracks in her wheelchair while she was driving.

The teen said she had gotten out of her car to help the handicapped woman get to the other side when she noticed a train heading their way on the tracks.

Ardmore Police Chief Jereme Robison told WKRN that the pair fell on the tracks, but Baker was able to get up and pull the woman out of the way.

“[The railroad company] told me that I was 18 inches away from getting hit by the train, and that in itself gave me the chills.

This is a little small young woman, and she’s done what most people wouldn’t do. »

If member countries agree, it will mark the end of the post-Cold War peace dividend that saw military spending shrivel.

“[The strategy] is not an answer to the war in Ukraine, but rather a broader response to a strategic paradigm shift.
