CNN —The good Samaritan who risked electrocution to save a baby in northeast Portland after a power line fell on top of a car and killed three people said she didn’t think twice about jumping in to help.
The incident happened Wednesday morning when a branch hit the top of a vehicle, taking a power line down with it, CNN previously reported.
“I was standing there and it made another, like, loud pop.”Washington, who works at a daycare, said she looked down from her window and saw a power line had fallen on a vehicle.
Nothing after that.”A woman rushing to check on the baby also slipped, fell and touched the line in a similar manner, according to Washington.
None of her neighbors who had fallen were moving, and she was concerned about the baby, Washington said.
