Grocery Manager's Heroic Dash Saves Toddler From Traffic in Mexico

On an ordinary afternoon in Puebla, Mexico, a grocery store manager named Luis Cruz stepped out of the rhythm of daily life and into the path of an oncoming SUV to pull a wandering toddler from harm's way. The act lasted only seconds, but a bystander's camera preserved it, and the footage spread far enough to make Cruz briefly famous in a city where such dangers are not uncommon. His story belongs to a long tradition of unremarkable people doing remarkable things — not because they sought the moment, but because the moment found them willing.
