How did you save someone's life human or animal?

Well, I'm not sure if I've saved a life per se, but I did help prevent a pretty serious accident once. I was driving down the highway when I noticed the car in front of me swerving all over the place. At first, I thought they were just drunk or distracted, but then I saw that their tire had blown out and they were struggling to control the car.

Without thinking twice, I pulled over to the side of the road and ran up to their car. Luckily, they had managed to get it under control by then, but their tire was completely shredded. After making sure they were okay and calling for some backup (because let's face it, changing a tire on the side of a busy highway is no joke), we managed to get them back on the road safely.

It wasn't anything heroic or anything like that, but it felt good knowing that I helped someone out when they really needed it.
