Julie and Andy Kemp were with their son, Landon, on the way home from church when their car was struck by an ambulance.
Andy was immediately killed, and his son was airlifted to a North Carolina hospital in critical condition.
“I looked but never saw what he was yelling at. I didn’t spot the ambulance approaching us, but all I can recall is that he was yelling.
That was the last thing that I heard from him,” Julie said, All That’s News reported.
Doctors had to resuscitate the boy on several occasions to keep him alive, though he eventually woke from a two-week coma with no brain damage.
