Michigan Mom lost her life Saving 5-Year-Old Twins in Crash by Shielding Them with Her Body, Says Family
The last memory that twin boys, Owen and Hunter have of their mother is of her shielding them from the blow of a devastating car accident and then shutting her eyes forever.
The heroic mother gave up her life so that her twin boys could escape the crash with only cuts and bruises after a driver, who shouldn’t have been allowed to drive in the first place, rammed into their vehicle on Monday, March 1.
Hillarie Galazka, 29, was driving home with her twin sons on Monday when her Saturn Ion was rear-ended on the entrance ramp of the I-96 near Davison, WJBK reported.
“Her body saved them,” Galazka’s mother, Jodie Kelley, told the outlet. “The boys say they saw her open her eyes, and look at them and then she closed her eyes, never opened them again. They remember that.”
Twins Owen and Hunter made it out alive with minor injures, but Hillarie lost her life on the scene after taking the brunt of the force. Immediately after the crash, the driver who rear-ended their vehicle fled the scene but was later found at a hospital.
