When Jonathan Mango pulled out of the Taco Bell parking lot Wednesday afternoon in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, he didn’t know his next move would save a life. The 28-year-old, listening to his radio in his idling car, was watching across the dashboard as an 89-year-old woman - a cane in each hand - hobbled slowly across the train tracks that stretch along the edge of town. Then Mango watched as the red light before the tracks began to flash, warning those who could see it that a train was fast approaching. It was when the safety gates on either side of her began to descend that Mango sprang into action. “No!” he can be heard saying on dashboard camera footage recorded from inside his vehicle.
