Eleven-year-old LI boy saved truck driver

LONG ISLAND Ryan Murphy and his mother Jackie were traveling south on Atlantic Avenue in East Rockaway, when they and a large truck suddenly got caught between a pair of railroad gates.

An eastbound Long Island Rail Road train was quickly approaching, and Ryan jumped into action.

Even though the truck got crushed from behind by the train, the cab was far enough out of the way to keep the driver safe.

Thanks to Ryan's quick thinking, no one was injured.
