Suburban postal worker hailed for saving stranger’s life

A Chicago-area postal worker was recently applauded for saving another person’s life after jumping into action while on his route.

Jaylen Lockhart was working on Saturday afternoon in Aurora, when he noticed something that didn’t seem quite right.

“I was looking at my rear view mirror at him, and he took a tumble,” Lockhart recounted.

Lockhart did not simply call 911; he got out of his truck to help.

“I’m trying to get up at the same time and, and… he tell me just to stay down, just stay down, you might be hurt, and it can’t be walking anywhere,” said Guy Miller, who fell walking his dog, Bentley.

Lockhart flagged down some neighbors to help – and got Guy to give him his home address.

The postal worker found Marcia, Guy’s wife, and then went back to finish his route.
