A quick-thinking Orthodox Jewish teenage girl is being praised for her heroic actions after saving the lives of three college students following a car accident near Ateres Elka in Baltimore on Saturday night.

The incident unfolded when the teenage driver noticed a car that had crashed into a cement barrier. Despite initial hesitation, she decided to stop and check on the occupants. The three college students in the damaged vehicle assured her they were fine.

However, the observant teen spotted smoke coming from the car and insisted the students exit immediately. Her instincts proved life-saving – moments after the students left their vehicle, it erupted into flames.

The young woman then called emergency services and offered the shaken students shelter in her own car. She later drove them back to their dormitory, ensuring their safety.

This act of bravery and compassion has not only saved lives but also created what the Jewish community refers to as a "Kiddush Hashem" – a sanctification of God's name through righteous actions.
