John Brittingham was driving down Florida's coastal A1A Highway in Brevard County when he saw two little girls walking towards the road unattended.

He immediately pulled his car over, ran to the girls, and scooped them both up:

CHAMP.

Brittingham, who is himself a dad of five, told WESH,

I was terrified thinking of what could have happened to them. The rest of my life would have been ruined.

After carrying the girls off the road, he soon found that the back gate was open at a nearby Airbnb. Going into the backyard, he located the family of the two girls, estimated to both be 2-years-old or younger. The family was totally unaware that the toddlers had escaped through the backyard.

Thank God this man was there at just the right moment to keep those babies safe!
