'I was in awe to see him': Bernie Sanders saved a woman from getting hit by a car while he was out for a walk in DC, and she's very grateful
Amy Currotto was deep in thought as she headed to a guitar lesson on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and wasn't paying attention as she started to cross a busy intersection.
She was walking straight into oncoming traffic when Sen. Bernie Sanders stepped in and saved the day.
"Sen. Sanders was apparently behind me," Currotto told Business Insider. "He didn't grab me or anything," she said, but started shouting, "Ma'am! Ma'am!"

My favorite part:
After they took the photo, Sanders apparently "bolted" toward the Senate as people took notice that he was in the area and a crowd began to gather.
My work here is done...

The way it's written, I wasn't sure if it was satire or not.
