A Virginia woman is being touted as a hero after she lifted a car off her father and saved his life. In the woman lifts car, saves dad story, Lauren Kornacki rescued her father after he had been working in the family garage on Saturday when a jack holding up his car slipped, according to daughter Kristen Kornacki.

“She proceeded to lift up the car, pull him out and then give him CPR,” said Kristen Kornacki.

Lauren Kornacki, 22, lives in Glen Allen, near Richmond, and is a trained lifeguard.

“It flashed like, oh my God, I’m going to lose my dad,” she told the CNN affiliate WWBT about the woman lifts car, saves dad story. “I knew I had to get his heart beating again.”

Alec Kornacki is being treated at the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center. His condition has currently not been released, but he does have several broken ribs, numbness and other fractures. It is not likely that he will suffer any permanent damage.

According to his daughter Kristen, Alec Kornacki is “healing fantastically.” His family shot a brief video of him walking in the hospital hallway to display this.

“He is walking and talking and laughing and joking. He’s feeling pretty good,” Kristen Kornacki said. “He’s Superman, that’s for sure.”
