(CNN) – A terrifying scene involving an out-of-control stroller turned into a hectic moment for a good Samaritan. The scene unfolded at a carwash nestled along a busy Southern California roadway.

He returned the stroller to the woman who was waiting to hug her sudden, speedy savior. “I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I did nothing. I’m just glad I realized it and was on it,” he said.
