How a heroic nine-year-old saved his parents from trapped car after tree ... trends now
A heroic nine-year-old boy managed to escape from a wrecked truck and rescued his parents when tornadoes battered Oklahoma over the weekend.
At least twenty-two tornadoes are known to have touched down in Oklahoma over the weekend, killing at least four people and injuring dozens.
Wayne and Lindy Baker, along with their son Branson, were driving to a friend's storm shelter on Saturday when an EF4 tornado picked up their truck and tossed it into the trees, reported KTVT.
The parents were severely injured, but brave Branson was able to get out of the mangled vehicle and frantically run for help in the darkness - with only lightning flashes to guide his way.
'The only way he found his way back is lightning strikes. Every time there was a lightning strike, it would light up the road. He ran as fast as he could, as hard as he could,' the boy's uncle, Johnny Baker, told the local news station.

The nine-year-old made it to a neighbor's house and brought him back to the scene to rescue his parents.
