Why This McDonald’s Employee Jumped Through The Window Is Absolutely HEROIC!

Not all heroes wear capes — sometimes they wear McDonald’s uniforms.

22-year-old Viloria’s quick thinking saved the family of an off-duty police officer, he jumped out of the drive-thru window after hearing the woman’s children crying and pleading with their mom.

The woman had stopped breathing, and her foot had fallen off the brake, causing her SUV to drift… with her two children panicking in the backseat. Pedro had to make a split-second decision.

As the car began to move away, he jumped out of the drive-thru window and ran to catch it.

The McDonald’s worker recalled, “Her kids were (in the back) screaming, ‘Mother, mother stop it! What are you doing?’”

Pedro instructed the children to call 911 while an unnamed co-worker did CPR. Luckily, at that very moment, a pair of firefighters walked into the McDonald’s, overheard the bizarre scene, and rushed over to help.

A camera inside the restaurant captured the moment:

There’s no telling what might have happened if Pedro hadn’t been so quick to help. He later said in an interview, “If I would have had to die to save that woman, I would have done it … My brain was on hero mode.”

Meanwhile, an off-duty firefighter was walking into that same McDonald’s.

McDonald’s released a statement applauding Viloria’s actions:

“First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers are with the officer and her family during this difficult time. I think I speak for our McDonald’s family when I say how proud we are of Pedro. He is an excellent employee, so it didn’t surprise me that he took immediate action and jumped through a window to help save this woman.  And he was not the only member of the team that played a pivotal role in ensuring she received the medical attention she needed. A second employee, who asked to remain unnamed, assisted with CPR. Their quick thinking and action were everything in that moment.”
