Brave mother threw herself under runaway car - PHOTO

Mindy Tran had just locked the front door of her home in Lawrence, Massachusetts, when she turned around and saw her car rolling down the steep driveway.

With her two-year-old twin daughters strapped into the backseat, and a busy road below, she instantly sprung into action.'I knew it was either mine or their (lives),' the teary 22-year-old told WCVB.'My first instinct was that I had to push the car back into the driveway.'She jumped behind the car and physically tried to change its course.The car fought against her, trapping one leg and then the other.'I had to use myself as a speed bump to slow it down enough for one of my neighbors to get in and completely stop the car,' she said.Fortunately, a nearby neighbor saw what was happening and ran to Tran's aid.They jumped into the car and managed to pull the brake on and get the kids out of the car.However Tran remained trapped underneath it.Firefighters arrived at the scene and used wooden blocks and an airbag to lift the vehicle off Tran.Her right knee was crushed and her left leg was dislocated from her hip, however all that really matters is the safety of her family.'My daughters are my everything,' she said.'It was all for my kids. I'm just glad my kids are fine.'Tran has been in and out of surgery and has a long way to go.However she is sure she will walk again(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
