Young girl becomes a hero when she prevent major accident

In early March Emily Lineberger of Charlotte N.C, became a hero when she and her mother survived what could have been a disastrous car wreck.

Emily was riding in the back seat of the family car as her mother, Dayna Lineberger drove. Dayna began feeling light headed as she drove and decided to stop to get food at a nearby restaurant.

“Then it just hit me,” said Lineberger, 40. “The last thing I remember is screaming to her, `Tell me where to turn,’ because I couldn’t see. …”

As she drove into the restaurant parking lot, Lineberger passed out. Emily, 11 years of age, leaned forward and grabbed the wheel steering the car to avoid hitting on oncoming car. Her mother’s foot was still on the gas peddle so all that Emily could do from her position was steer the car. The vehicle stopped when it hit a telephone pole. Fortunately mother and daughter were uninjured.

The doctors that cared for Dayna Lineberger, who suffers from Ulcerative colitis, later stated that she had been dehydrated.

Good think Emily didn’t panic and quickly went into action to prevent what could have been a tragedy.
