Stobbs, a longtime Corpus Christi firefighter, worked to free Sylvia as he sent Maverick to get help.

The youth understood that the situation at hand was no mere child’s play, according to Stobbs.

The youngster succeeded in gaining the attention of his father Johnathan Flores, who helped Stobbs to separate two crashed cars long enough to free Sylvia.

Johnathan Flores is beaming about his son’s decisive actions.

“It’s a proud dad moment.”

Stobbs doesn’t believe the sequence of events was a mere coincidence.

“It’s almost like God wanted us to be outside. I didn’t want to go outside; Maverick insisted we go.”

“Had we not, I think it would have been a very different outcome for Sylvia,” he continued.

Sylvia has been discharged from an area hospital and is recovering, according to KIII.

The neighbor thanked Stobbs and Maverick the first day she was able to speak.

The two relatives are slated to receive an award from the city of Corpus Christi for their actions.
