Sandy and her son Jacob Labut were having a normal mother-son weekend. They were riding around in the car running errands, chitchatting like they usually do, and then Jacob noticed something odd. Suddenly, his mother went completely silent. That wasn't like Mom at all.
"This is really weird for her. My mom doesn't really stop talking right out of the blue," Jacob said. Then Sandy drove right past their first stop, and that's when Jacob realized she was totally unconscious. Although it had never happened before, Sandy was having a seizure at the wheel. The car was out of control. Jacob was frightened, he had only had his driver's license for a month, but he knew he had to act fast.
"My first instinct was to knock her hands off the wheel. I grabbed the wheel from her… at that point I was like, I don't know what I'm going to do. I thought we were going to die," Jacob said. The good son tried to steer the car out of danger's way. When he saw a free lane, he drifted until he jumped the curb and was able to stop the car. Sandy doesn't remember a thing, but she knows one thing for sure: her son saved her life.
