A selfless savior recently pulled a man out of a car that was dangling halfway off of the edge of a cliff. The mystery man left the scene once the stranded driver was rescued, without even giving his name.
He was later identified as 29-year-old Jason Warnock.
The driver of the car, Mathew Sitko, found himself in the dangerous predicament when decided to take his SUV through shortcut. The area he drove through had a steep slope that ended in a cliff, luckily there was a fence on the edge that blocked the SUV from falling.
At this point the SUV was stuck on the edge of the cliff and was only held back from falling by sheer luck. Sitko was in a difficult position. Any movement might make the car fall over the edge, but if he stayed he might fall anyway. Sitko was stuck.

Warnock was traveling in the area when he noticed debris on the ground and found Sitko. He used a multi tool to cut open the window, and hoisted him out of the window of the car.

If Warnock hadn’t of showed up, who knows what would’ve happened. The local Idaho police thanked him for saving the Sitko life.
