OAK PARK, Ill. — A UPS driver delivered an act of heroism, rushing to free a 4-year-old Illinois boy trapped under a heavy package.
Max Pratt told WBBM that “he always gets the packages” that are delivered to his Oak Park home. But he was no match for a 97-pound package left at his home.
The boy was trying to move the package when it tipped over, trapping him underneath the rectangular cardboard box, the television station reported. The incident was caught on the family’s doorbell camera.
As Pratt yelled for help, UPS driver Marco Angel, who had just delivered the package -- a hammock -- dashed across traffic and helped lift the package off the frightened boy, WBBM reported.
“I was scared I was going to fall down the stairs,” the boy said.
“So, I was coming down the stairs and I had no idea that that had all just taken place, but everyone was pretty shaken up,” Traci Pratt, Max’s mom, told WLS. “And then I look on our camera after the fact and had no idea the severity of what had just taken place.”
Angel said he began running as soon as he saw the boy struggling with the package.
“As soon as I saw the package tilt, I just started running back to it,” Angel told WBBM. “I pictured my boys in his situation. Obviously, you go into kind of into full parent mode or full dad mode to make sure the kid is all right.”
“I was saying, ‘Help!’ and then the package man just came back and lifted the box,” Max Pratt told the television station. “I couldn’t get it – well, the package man got it.”
Traci Pratt and her son had a virtual meeting with Angel, and the boy’s mom said the driver’s name is appropriate.
“That’s what he is,” Traci Pratt told WBBM. “You are our angel, the way you flew in and helped him.”
