Well done Lezlie Bicknell on a most heroic act:
A New Mexico woman heroically jumped to save two children alone in a runaway van, even as her own vehicle slid into traffic.
Lezlie Bicknell says she was shocked to see a young child behind the wheel of a minivan she pulled up next to in an Albuquerque strip mall parking lot.
“There was a small child in the driver’s seat,” Bicknell, 40, told ABC affiliate KOAT. “I literally watched her shift it into gear. I knew what was going to happen.”
The two children were reportedly locked inside the minivan while their parents ran into a nearby convenience store, and one of the youngsters accidentally knocked the vehicle into neutral.
Video shows the minivan sliding backward toward the street, and Bicknell jumping from her truck to help. Then her own vehicle starts to roll backward, too.

Thank you for highlighting my story. I only went public after seeing the video in hopes, that it would keep parents from leaving their children unattended. The support and impact of people “getting it out there” has been a blessing of its own. Thank you again. -Lezlie Bicknell
