(Gray News) – A California man died after he pushed his family out of the way of an out-of-control car that struck him while he was visiting Texas.
On Oct. 25, 50-year-old Adam Bouvet traveled with his wife, Tracy, and his daughter to Dallas to visit his eldest daughter and grandson.
The family had just enjoyed lunch together and were walking back home when a driver suddenly lost control of their vehicle, according to a Facebook post shared by his wife.
The vehicle jumped the sidewalk and struck Adam, Tracy and their daughter Sidney.
Adam took the brunt of the impact causing a traumatic brain injury, and he was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery, KTLA reported.
After spending days in the ICU, he later died from his injuries.
“I do believe he took the hit to save us all,” Tracy said in her post. “He is my hero. The love of my life, my best friend, the best husband.”
A GoFundMe page was created to help the family during this difficult time.
So far, the family has raised over $146,000.
