asylum.com - We love a hero, but in our time reporting on worldwide acts of heroism, few reach the level achieved by Andrew Leitch.
The Aussie father was captured on CCTV (http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=1050641) clinging desperately to his son Haydn after taking the full impact of car smashing into him and a shop front.
Amazingly, the baby escaped without a scratch, but Mr. Leitch's elderly parents were tossed across the foyer. Despite a long period in a critical condition in hospital, both have now recovered.
The shocking sequence was captured on a security camera near Sydney, Australia. The 82-year-old driver had a heart attack and careened her car at almost 45 mph into the Leitch family.
"I was thinking I can take the hit. I can repair, but there's no way my son is going to repair," said Andrew. Keep reading to see the amazing video.
