(July 13) - A 36-year-old father is being hailed as a hero for saving his young son from the path of a speeding hit-and-run driver in New York's Bronx borough Sunday, the New York Daily News reported.
Miguel Colon's 6-year-old son was on his bicycle when the pair was crossing a busy intersection at around 6 p.m. According to police, Mark St. Pierre, 36, was speeding at more than 60 miles an hour as he drove through the thoroughfare. Colon quickly pushed his son Sebastian out of harm's way, only to be hit and killed himself, relatives said.
"The boy kept crying, 'Daddy! Daddy, what happened?'" a witness told the Daily News.
Colon, a father of two who lived in the Bronx, was still clutching his son's bike when he was hit. Officials said at least a dozen other people were injured as St. Pierre came speeding through. He kept going for several blocks, hitting several more vehicles until his car was too damaged to keep going, police said.
According to the paper, witnesses held him until police arrived to arrest him. Authorities said St. Pierre had just gotten into an argument with his wife at a local Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant. The Daily News said that he had previously been arrested on a host of crimes.

ShadowPwn23 05:57 PMJul 14 2009 We have lost a truly great hero in America today, and he may perhaps be even in lines with the word "martyr." Oh no. not the father, but instead the great man who is going off to jail unfairly, the driver. The driver lived a sad life, I mean how much did his wife piss him off for him to get mad at Chuck E Cheese !? The father was probably either a black with KFC in his right hand standing in the middle of a highway, or a mexican eating a burrito in the "new" country he came across after illegally taking jobs and crossing the border._________________________________________________________________ THE DRIVER IS WHITE & THE FATHER WAS PUERTO RICAN... DUMB ASS!!!!

it is just unfair that something like this has to happen... Why is it that the ones who are not at fault always die? and the guy has the audacity to keep driving for several more blocks, hitting people and cars along the way. If it were up to me, l'd give the bastard life in prison or death.
