Ms. Dominy is now my hero. The article at the link below is very short, but if I read it correctly, she had ample reason to just drive by the victims and let someone else worry about it. But like so many rescuers, Ms. Dominy found that she simply could not just drive on by and let them suffer. Two people are alive, thanks to her. Way to go!
