Then, Max’s mom, Tracy, also rushed to the front porch asking if he was okay. Everyone was grateful for the UPS driver’s quick response and that Max was, indeed, just fine.
“The package was so heavy,” recalls Tracy. “He was pinned down, and he was screaming for help.”
“It’s moments like this that we’re so grateful for people like Marco,” Tracy mentioned in the interview with Inside Edition.
The entire family thanked Marco in person for his heroic act — saving little Max.
Viewers shared their opinions of the heroic act
With nearly 2 million views and thousands of comments, this story clearly has gone viral. People across the country are sharing what they think. So many give shouts out to Max, while others commend the UPS driver. And, one viewer provides insight from the mom’s perspective.
“I love how he full on sprinted back once he realized what happened. Not just a jog or something. He was running like he just broke free of an NFL defense and wanted to score”
“I feel like the mom came out at the worst time. She hears her son screaming for help then finds a ups man standing over him. From first glance, it doesn’t look good, but from second glance he saved his life”
“The kid did everything right by yelling for help! Sometimes kids don’t want to get in trouble so they try handling things on their own even when they’re hurt. Teach your children to ask for help when they need it, especially emergencies!! :)”
“My husband works for UPS, we watched this together. He said the driver probably just left it on the porch not thinking anything of it, until he heard that little voice say “help!” 😭 I hope Marco’s building gives him his props some how. That was awesome!!”
“Can we all just take a moment and appreciate not just what this man did but what he and thousands of others do everyday making sure we get our packages usually on time especially when they’re hauling hundred pound packages across busy streets across yards and upstairs most of the day”
“Marco Angel is AWESOME! UPS has the nicest drivers. I love the guy who delivers to my house. I have no idea how he knew but he stopped by my house the morning after my mom passed away and was the first person to send his condolences to me. UPS drivers deserve every penny they make and more 🙏🏻”
