UK Woman Stuns Viral Video of Heroic Rescue: 'I Was Just Feeling Unwell, So I Did Something'
In a heartwarming and unexpected encounter, Aimee Hitchmough, 30, from the UK, came to the rescue of a delivery driver who found himself stuck in his van on January 7. The dramatic moment was captured on door camera footage and has since gone viral on TikTok with over 303,500 views.
According to Hitchmough, she heard the distressed man shouting for help, banging on the inside of the van's door for five minutes before she rushed out of her house – still in her pajamas – to assist him. The driver was trapped and unable to free himself, but Hitchmough quickly opened the doors and led him out to safety.
The delivery driver was visibly shaken after being rescued but expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Hitchmough, describing it as an unforgettable experience. He never expected to be stuck in such a situation and thanked Hitchmough profusely for her quick thinking.
Hitchmough herself was initially planning to stay home due to feeling unwell but instead chose to take matters into her own hands when she heard the driver's cries for help. If she had gone to work, it could have delayed his rescue further, potentially leaving him stranded for an unknown amount of time.

Hitchmough remains stunned by the viral attention, admitting she never expected her actions to resonate with so many people online. Despite her initial apprehension about sharing the footage, she is thrilled to have made a difference in someone's life.
The incident has sparked an outpouring of appreciation for Hitchmough's bravery and kindness, serving as a reminder that even the smallest acts of heroism can make a significant impact on those around us.

Like, Aimee Hitchmough just casually drops out of her house in PJs, opens the van door, and saves some dude from certain doom... all without even finishing breakfast. Talk about multitasking! 
30 yr old UK woman Aimee Hitchmough just did something heroic & saved some poor delivery guy stuck in his van 
- she was literally feeling unwell at home but heard his cries for help so she rushed out (still in her PJs!) and rescued him! 
️ What's even crazier is that if she had gone to work, it could've delayed his rescue further 
. I mean, who expects their ordinary day to turn into a heroic act? 
. We should all be like Aimee - even when we're not feeling our best, we can still make a difference in someone's life 
and the best part is she didn't even mean to be a hero, just trying not to get sick 
anyway its great to see people making a difference in such a random way 
- some people think we're too soft, but it goes to show that good Samaritans are still out there doing amazing things! 303k+ views and counting is wild 
I mean, what's up with people being so extra about Aimee not wearing pants to rescue this dude? Like, calm down folks! She just saved a life and you're worried about her PJs? 
. And can we please give it up for the delivery driver too? He's shaken but grateful, which is all anyone can ask for 
. This whole situation is a beautiful reminder that heroes come in all shapes and sizes (and styles) 
. I'm not surprised the delivery driver was shaken but grateful – he had no idea he'd be rescued by someone as awesome as Hitchmough 
. And can you believe she did it all in her PJs
