CHICAGO — A cement truck driver who saved a woman's life says he was definitely "in the right place at the right time."
Jeff Hanus was sitting in his truck, listening to classical violin music, and getting ready to pull away from a job site last month when a woman parked her car in front of him. She got out and Hanus could tell something was wrong.
Video from an Inside Edition report shows him jumping into action to help the stranger.
The woman signaled she was choking, so Hanus performed the Heimlich maneuver on her. After three tries, the fast food the woman was choking on dislodged from her throat.
Hanus then returned the woman to her car and noticed two toddlers inside, Inside Edition reported.
Hanus humbly said he just did what most anybody would have done. Still, he's being hailed as a hero.
"I've known Jeff since kindergarten," a commenter said. "This doesn't surprise me one bit. Always willing to help people out. Good job, bud!"
