A routine commute turned into a high-stakes rescue operation on Interstate 5 near Fife, Washington. Paul Jackson, driving a Kia Forte, witnessed a woman in a white SUV experiencing a medical emergency and swerving dangerously across multiple lanes of traffic. With a young child secured in a car seat in the SUV's back, the situation posed a significant risk to all drivers on the busy freeway.
