Aaron Van Riper is a volunteer firefighter who had the horrible experience of responding to an accident, only to find that is was his family inside the mangled car.

His wife had been driving with their son when they collided head on with a pickup truck, resulting in Aaron's wife being thrown from the car.

Though he admits he felt himself going into panic mode at times, he managed to help them get out and get airlifted to the hospital. Both suffered some broken bones that required surgery and will need some time in wheelchairs, but incredibly, they will survive.

Due to them not having health insurance, a GoFundMe page has been set up for their medical bills.
