In the midst of a crazy world we pause for a heartwarming story

Madison Co. man saves child crawling near highway

MADISON COUNTY, GA -- Long ago, Bryant Collins learned the value of choosing the right path.

"I've been in a lot of bad situations," he told 11Alive's Matt Pearl.

But this past Friday, Collins found, on the side of the road, a chance to save a life.

"I had seen something out of the corner of my eye, and I thought it was a baby," Collins recalled. "I just stopped and, when I got out, there was a baby … almost in the highway."

Collins' reaction? "The same that yours would have been, man … 'What the hell is going on? A baby?'"

It was a 15-month-old baby that had crawled through the woods, 300 yards from home, and nearly onto Highway 72.

proof that people can and do turn their lives around - I hope he gets the recognition he deserves, not just for saving this baby, but for changing his own life

Mr Collins you saved a little girls life. Loved how he played Gospel music to keep her calm he stayed with her for 2 hours and the look on her face when he was holding her she seemed so comfortable with him.
