Nationwide — Kayden Reid, a 6-year old boy from Mobile, Alabama who got hit by a car while saving his 2-year old sister, is being called a hero for his bravery.
Fortunately, both Kayden and his sister Kaycee were safe after the collision. The little boy only had a few scratches and minor injuries that were treated at a nearby hospital.
Kayden returned home to a hero’s welcome from the community with the local fire department that recognized him for his remarkable feat. Wearing his Superman suit, Kayden was given a tour around the firetruck as well as a front-row view in the driver’s seat.
