Kadie Price was a Pierson, MI, mom whose heroic actions to save her daughter’s life before her death sparked numerous reactions.
Price, 33, was at a drag racing event in Michigan on Sunday when an out-of-control car slammed into her.
Seconds before impact, Price managed to push her 2-year-old daughter to safety, saving the child’s life, according to the Oceana County Sheriff’s Office.
The crash happened Sunday at Silver Lake State Park Sand Dunes in western Oceana County, about 270 miles (430 kilometers) northwest of Detroit.
Police said the driver of a modified Jeep CJ lost control, veered off the racing strip toward the crowd and hit another vehicle, causing that vehicle to strike 33-year-old spectator Kadie Price of Pierson.
Price pushed her 2-year-old daughter to safety just before she was hit, sparing the girl serious injury or worse, police said.
Price died shortly after the crash. An investigation is ongoing.
