Former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub saves three children in fatal car crash The Fighter and The Kid\/YouTubeFormer UFC fighter Brendan Schaub recently shared the story of an absolutely horrifying traffic wreck during a podcast appearance. He also revealed how to help the affected family. Schaub is known primarily for his career as a fighter and comedian. But, during an episode of his podcast, he shared how he rescued three kids from a terrifying accident. While driving to dinner with his wife, Schaub said he came across a wreck involving an 18-wheeler and a car on the interstate, and a small child flagging down help. After warning that pulling over on the highway, even to help an accident, is extremely dangerous and best left to proper authorities, he said he eventually made it to the car to help the kids. \u201cThe car hit the semi\u2019s gas tank, so there\u2019s a flow of gas, as thick as this room, flooding out, my shoes my jeans are all covered in gas,\u201d the former fighter explained. \u201cIn my head, I\u2019m like \u2018f**k, I have kids,\u2019 but I\u2019m thinking of those kids.\u201d After reaching the wreck he managed to rescue the other two children from the wrecked car. But, it took him and another good samaritan having to break the window out to reach them. \u201cI grab the door, but it\u2019s mangled from the crash, so it\u2019s like intertwined from the car,\u201d Schaub continued. \u201cI\u2019m trying to pull it down and I can\u2019t, so I\u2019m like \u2018we gotta smash this window.\u2019 CONTENT WARNING: The video below is very graphic and could be upsetting. Viewer discretion is advised. The worst part of the whole episode is that while rescuing the children, Schaub discovered their mother had tragically passed away. Even more horrific was that the father was charged with murder for intentionally driving the car the wrong way in traffic, according to local media. For anyone wanting to help the kids and family of the victim in this tragic incident, a GoFundMe has been set up and raised more than $70,000 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
