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.“I had to go get her before she got ran over by a car, but that’s when the car hit me,” Kayden told FOX10 News about the incident.
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.
