Howell boy's instinct helps save elderly neighbor

The family of an elderly Howell resident is "forever grateful" for a 10-year-old boy they've dubbed a hero.

An 80-year-old woman, who lives alone in Nelson's Ridge Condominium Complex, slipped in her garage Saturday night after eating out for dinner, said her daughter, Sandy Mitter. She was unable to get up.

"We think she laid there for two to two-and-a-half hours," she said. "She kept trying to yell for help and was banging on the wall for neighbors."  http://www.freep.com/article/20140129/NEWS05/301290080/Tony-DiPietro-elderly-woman-hero-Howell
