The car tore down the fence separating the sidewalk from the road. Only the man’s timely reaction helped to avoid the tragedy. He grabbed his son literally from under the wheels of a speeding car. A second later, the car crashed into the house.
“I immediately grabbed my child and jumped to the side,” “Fontanka” quotes Sergei Nikolaev.
Passers-by immediately ran up to the car. Later, it turned out that an elderly woman was driving, and her grandson was in the car. She could not explain what happened exactly. Later, the daughter of the elderly woman ran up to the scene of the accident.

The father and his son who miraculously survived went home immediately, the child was frightened, he needed to be calmed down.
“I took our run bike almost from under the wheels of the Volvo. We immediately went home, because my son was scared,” said Sergey.

His classmates organized a charity fair, and all the funds were given to the boy’s mother.
As a result, it was possible to collect the necessary three million rubles, part of which was transferred by the Zhanna Friske Foundation. Matvey was able to go for treatment.
Now the family lives in the suburbs, but the parents brought Matvey to his hometown on purpose so that he could thank everyone who helped him cope with the disease.
At first, his teachers and classmates at school did not recognize him; due to the illness, he lost a lot of weight.
“We all began to cry, hug and kiss. And the guys blinked their eyes and finally recognized him,” the former teacher of Matvey Inessa Voronova told the OSA TV channel.
